Every Gag I tell must be based on truth. No matter how much I may exaggerate it, it must have a certain amount of Truth.... Now Rumor travels Faster, but it don't stay put as long as Truth.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
I am just an old country boy in a big town trying to get along. I have been eating pretty regular and the reason I have been is because I have stayed an old country boy.
Will Rogers
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, it's just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.
Will Rogers
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him... The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
Will Rogers
In Europe public men do resign. But here it's a lost art. You have to impeach 'em.
Will Rogers
There ain't nothing that breaks up homes, country and nations like somebody publishing their memoirs
Will Rogers
When you straddle a thing it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
They used to take your horse and if they were caught they got hung for it. Now they take your car, and if they are caught it's a miracle.
