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
You know, a Communist's whole life work is based on complaint of how everything is done.... So if they ever get their country running good they will defeat their own cause.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
Will Rogers
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
It wasn't what we needed then that was hurting us, it was what we was paying for that we had already used up. The country was just buying gasoline for a leaky tank. Everything was going into a gopher hole and you couldent see where you was going to get any of it back.
Will Rogers
I love horses and I only ask-don't let me know which one we are eating today.
Will Rogers
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
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
The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
My father was one-eighth Cherokee indian and my mother was quarter-blood Cherokee. I never got far enough in arithmetic to figure out how much injun that made me, but there's nothing of which I am more proud than my Cherokee blood.
Will Rogers
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
Will Rogers
The farmers can be thankful. Didn't the Farm Board decide in Washington last week that they could have cheaper interest? All the farmers have to do now is to find something new to put up as security.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
Where I come from, they won't let me play with this rope. They think I might hurt myself.
Will Rogers
If you ever injected truth into politics you would have no politics.
Will Rogers
People love high ideals, but they got to be about 33-percent plausible
Will Rogers
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
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
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Will Rogers
Hurray! Congress is to adjourn! Only four more days of Congressional burglary on the Treasury!
Will Rogers
