Will Rogers

Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Old Hollywood is just like a desert water in Africa. Hang around long enough and every kind of animal in the world will drift in for refreshments.
Will Rogers
They are having quite an argument over Treasury Secretary Mellon's Tax Bill. Mr. Mellon wants to cut the surtax on the rich, and leave it as is on the poor, as there is more poor than rich. I suppose the majority will win.
Will Rogers
A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.
Will Rogers
A king can stand people's fighting but he can't last long if people start thinking.
Will Rogers
