More quotes by Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
There is no income tax in Russia. But there's no income.
Will Rogers
Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
Will Rogers
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
Will Rogers
I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.
Will Rogers
Money and women are the most sought after and the least known about of any two things we have.
Will Rogers
I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the election is another thing. The old voter is getting so he wants to be saved before October every election year.
Will Rogers
There is a hundred things to single you out for promotion in party politics besides ability.
Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
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
Lobbyists have more offices in Washington than the President. You see, the President only tells Congress what they should do. Lobbyists tell'em what they will do.
Will Rogers
The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.
Will Rogers
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
Will Rogers
What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.
Will Rogers
The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
Will Rogers
You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers
