We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
Image
A Democrat is just like a baby. If it's hollering and making a lot of noise, there is nothing serious the matter with it. When it's quiet and doesn't pay much attention to anything, that's when it's really dangerous.
Will Rogers
Image
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers

We have the best Congress that money can buy.
Will Rogers

I see where we are starting to pay some attention to our neighbors to the south. We could never understand why Mexico wasn't just crazy about us, for we have always had their good will, and oil and minerals, at heart

Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.

Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
Will Rogers
Image
It will take America fifteen years of steady taking care of our own business and letting everybody else's alone, to get us back to where everybody speaks to us again.
Will Rogers
Image
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
Will Rogers
Image
You got to do more than just live in the country to be a Farmer.
Will Rogers
Image
If a thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But on a thousand acres of land you pay enough to support half the community who own no land and pay no taxes.
Will Rogers
Image
A fanatic is always the fellow that is on the opposite side.
Will Rogers
Image
Now they got such a high inheritance tax on 'em that you won't catch these old rich boys dying promiscuously like they did. This bill makes patriots out of everybody. You sure do die for your country if you die from now on.

Image
My forefathers didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.
Will Rogers
Image
I was just thinking, if it is really religion with these nudist colonies, they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.
Will Rogers
Image
There is two things that can disrupt business in this country. One is War, and the other is a meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank.

We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
