More quotes by Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
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
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
There is some talk of lowering (the income tax), and they will have to. People are not making enough to pay it.
Will Rogers
You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
My forefathers didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
More men have been elected between Sundown and Sunup than ever were elected between Sunup and Sundown.
Will Rogers
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
Will Rogers
Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.
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
Every time a woman leaves off something she looks better, but every time a man leaves off something he looks worse.
Will Rogers
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Will Rogers
Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.
Will Rogers
I never met a man I didn't get a kind of strange and exciting tingling sensation from.
Will Rogers
President Coolidge said, 'I don't want the Government to go into business.' Well, if I was Mr. Coolidge I wouldn't worry over that. The Government never has been accused of being a business man.
Will Rogers
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
Sometimes people deserve a high five, in the face, with a chair.
Will Rogers
