Will Rogers
In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.
Will Rogers
It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.
Will Rogers
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will Rogers
They call it the Latin Quarter because nobody there is Latin and nobody has a quarter.
Will Rogers
Buy land. They ain't making any more of the stuff.
Will Rogers
This would be a great world to dance in if we didn’t have to pay the fiddler.
Will Rogers
The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.
