Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
Will Rogers
And kid Congress and the Senate, dont scold em. They are just children thats never grown up. They dont like to be corrected in company. Dont send messages to em, send candy.
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
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
Will Rogers
All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.

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
Farmers, get out your sense of humor. Congress meets to relieve you again next week.
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
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these acceptance speeches there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.
Will Rogers
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
I am always going to do my best, no matter where I am.
Will Rogers
Work to make a living serve to make a life.
Will Rogers
The English should give Ireland home rule - and reserve the motion picture rights.
Will Rogers
I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.
Will Rogers
Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses... which has proved to be nothing.
Will Rogers
America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to a select few.
Will Rogers
There is a hundred things to single you out for promotion in party politics besides ability.
