Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man we never get to vote on what he is to do.

More quotes by Will Rogers
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Will Rogers
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.
Will Rogers
One thing I will say about the Germans, they are always perfectly willing to give somebody's land to somebody else
Will Rogers
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
Will Rogers
It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
Will Rogers
There's no way in the world you're going to make a political party respectable unless you keep it out of office.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers
Farmers have more Associations, and Bureaus, and Clubs, than they have pitchforks.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
Will Rogers
Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.
Will Rogers
People learn more from observation that they do from conversation.
Will Rogers
The way to make money in the stock market is to buy a stock. Then, when it goes up, sell it. If it's not going to go up, don't buy it!
Will Rogers
You know Lincoln's famous remark about God must have loved the common people, because he made so many of them? Well, you are not going to get people's votes nowadays by calling 'em common. Lincoln might have said it, but I bet it was not until after he was elected.
Will Rogers
The American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible, exception of stupidity.
Will Rogers
A holding company is the people you give your money to while you're being searched.
Will Rogers
Every time somebody has thought of relief for the farmer it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more.
Will Rogers
There is no argument in the world that carries the hatred that a relioious belief does. The more learned a man is, the less consideration he has for another man's belief.
