More quotes by Will Rogers
It's no laughing matter being a Republican in these perilous times. Anyone can be a Republican when the stock market is up, but when stocks are selling for no more than they're worth, I tell you, being a Republican - it's a sacrifice.
Will Rogers
If I studied all my life, I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
Will Rogers
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
Will Rogers
If I could kick the person in the tail that causes me the most problems I could not sit down for a week
Will Rogers
A vision, without a plan, is just a hallucination.
Will Rogers
If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.

The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer.

Will Rogers
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there
Will Rogers
Don't be misled by History, or any other unreliable source.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
What would we say if the Chinese sent a gunboat with their marines up the Mississippi River claiming they were protecting their laundries in Memphis?
Will Rogers
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
Will Rogers
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.
Will Rogers
The Ways & Means Committee is a committee that's supposed to find the Ways to divide up the Means.
Will Rogers
The Supreme Court is divided almost in half on the decisions. Talk about an international court. How would we ever agree with a lot of foreigners when we can't even agree among our own judges?
Will Rogers
A senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow senators sons of wild jackasses. Now, if you think the senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses must feel.
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else ... I was not a Child Prodigy, because a Child Prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.
Will Rogers
I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.
Will Rogers
Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers.
Will Rogers
If your Income Taxes go to help out the less fortunate, there could be no legitimate kick against it in the world. This is becoming the richest, and the poorest Country in the world. Why? Why, on account of an unequal distribution of the money.
