More quotes by Will Rogers
Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it's not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.
Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
We are sure living in a peculiar time. You get morefor not working than you will for working, and morefor not raising a hog than for raising it.
Will Rogers
Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.
Will Rogers
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
People should be more concerned with the return of their principal than the return on their principal.
Will Rogers
It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
Will Rogers
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
Will Rogers
When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do well, that's Memoirs.
Will Rogers
There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.
Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.
Will Rogers
You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers
Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like any man that wants to be President in times like these lacks something.
Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
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
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
Will Rogers
In the Middle West now you got to put a brand on your soil, then in the Spring go on a round-up looking for it.
Will Rogers
