More quotes by Will Rogers
You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best. My only solution would be to keep em both out one term and hire my good friend Henry Ford to run the whole thing, and give him a commission on what he saves us.
Will Rogers
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.
Will Rogers
A Republican moves slowly. They are what we call conservatives. A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't always have plenty of money. A Democrat is a fellow who never had any, but doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't have some.
Will Rogers
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
Will Rogers
There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.
Will Rogers
A liberal is a man who wants to use his own ideas on things in preference to generations who he knows know more than he does.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
The old horse is coming back in a high lope. Thousands of people are riding a horse today that five years ago couldn't sit in a Ford with all the doors locked.
Will Rogers
There's a simple solution to our traffic problems. We'll have business build the roads, and government build the cars.
Will Rogers
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Will Rogers
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
Cattlemen have lost more in the last few years than anybody and say less about it.
Will Rogers
Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
Banking and after-dinner speaking are two of the most nonessential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform, if they are.
Will Rogers
The self persists like a dying star, In sleep, afraid.
Will Rogers
I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with.
Will Rogers
