Will Rogers was an American humorist and writer who lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. Rogers was famous for once noting that, "diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice-doggie' until you find a rock." In 2372, Commander William T. Riker repeated this quote to Captain Jean-Luc Picard when he informed the senior staff that he wanted to negotiate with the Changeling infiltrator. Riker admitted that he didn't know if the Enterprise crew were the rock or the dog. (TNG eBook: A Sea of Troubles)

  • Will Rogers (November 4, 1879 - August 15, 1935) was a Cherokee-American actor, singer, musician, and humorist. By the time of his death, he'd made over 71 movies, written over 4,000 syndicated newspaper columns, and was Hollywood's top paid star. Known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son", Rogers was born to a prominent Cherokee family in Indian Territory (later Oklahoma). He traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"), wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns, and became a world-famous figure. By the mid-1930s, the American people adored Rogers. He was the leading political wit of the Progressive Era, and was the top-paid Hollywood movie star at the time. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when their small airplane crashed in Alaska. Rogers's humor remains timeless. His sardonic observations often remain as valid today as they were in his time.
