More quotes by Will Rogers
Old Hollywood is just like a desert water in Africa. Hang around long enough and every kind of animal in the world will drift in for refreshments.
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
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.
Will Rogers
Fanatical religion driven to a certain point is almost as bad as none at all, but not quite.
Will Rogers
I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened.
Will Rogers
Wine had such ill effects on Noah's health that it was all he could do to live 950 years. Show me a total abstainer that ever lived that long.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Where I come from, they won't let me play with this rope. They think I might hurt myself.
Will Rogers
Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.
Will Rogers
We are always saying: Let the Law take its Course but what we really mean is: Let the Law take OUR Course.
Will Rogers
We're all ignorant, just about different stuff.
Will Rogers
That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.
Will Rogers
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.
Will Rogers
The budget is like a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, then reaches in and tries to pull real ones out.
