Always drink upstream from the herd.
Will Rogers
After seeing kids play polo against big guys, it only shows that horses are the greatest equalizer in the world. No matter what you weigh, the little fellow is your equal on a horse.
Will Rogers
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The Republicans have a habit of having three bad years and one good one, and the good one always happens to be election years.
Will Rogers
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Will Rogers
Shrewdness in public life all over the world is always honored, while honesty in public men is generally attributed to dumbness and is seldom rewarded.
Will Rogers
There is an awful lot of difference between reading something and actually seeing it, for you can never tell, till you see it, just how big a liar History is.

But we can't alibi all our ills by just knocking the old banker. First he loaned the money, then the people all at once wanted it back, and he didn't have it. Now he's got it again, and is afraid to loan it, so the poor devil don't know what to do.
Will Rogers
Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.
Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.
Will Rogers
I never met a man that I didn't like.
Will Rogers
I hope we never live to see the day when a thing is as bad as some of our newspapers make it.

Democrats are the only reason to vote for Republicans
