More quotes by Will Rogers
Every man gets an opportunity once in a lifetime.
Will Rogers
The man who never makes a mistake must get tired of doing nothing.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. My folks were Indian. Both my mother and father had Cherokee blood in them. I was born and raised in Indian Territory. 'Course we're not the Americans whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but we met them at the boat when they landed.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
A Realtor is an old fashioned Real Estate man with a neck tie. A Real Estate man sold you what you wanted, a Realtor sells you what you don't need. A Real Estate man showed you what you could raise on the land, a Realtor tells you what you can build on it.
Will Rogers
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
Will Rogers
Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous.
Will Rogers
There's the one thing no nation can ever accuse us of and that is secret diplomacy. Our foreign are an open book, generally a check book.
Will Rogers
There is nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating
Will Rogers
Horses raise what the farmer eats and eats what the farmer raises. You can't plow the ground and get gasoline.
Will Rogers
When should a college athlete turn pro? Not until he has earned all he can in college as an amateur.
Will Rogers
We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Will Rogers
You see, in Washington they have these bodies, Senate and the House of Representatives. That is for the convenience of the visitors. If there is nothing funny happening in one, there is sure to be in the other, and in case one body passes a good bill, why, the other can see it in time and kill it.
Will Rogers
There is an awful lot of difference between reading something and actually seeing it, for you can never tell, till you see it, just how big a liar History is.
Will Rogers
The minute a thing is long and complicated, it confuses. Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made 'em short. They may not always be kept, but they are understood.
Will Rogers
A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.
Will Rogers
Any person that don't read at least one well-written country newspaper is not truly informed.
Will Rogers
A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet.
Will Rogers
And if you call one a real estate agent and he won't sell you anything. He is a REALATOR. It's the same as what the old fashioned real estate agent used to be only the commission is different.
