More quotes by Will Rogers
The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.
Will Rogers
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Will Rogers
Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man we never get to vote on what he is to do.
Will Rogers
We all joke about Congress but we can't improve on them. Have you noticed that no matter who we elect, he is just as bad as the one he replaces?
Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.
Will Rogers
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
Will Rogers
Course, that's the trouble with politics, it breeds politics! So that makes it pretty hard to stamp out.
Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
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
Don't just grab at the first thing that comes along. Know when to refuse something that won't get you anywhere
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
I will never joke about old soldiers who try to get to reunions to talk over the war again. To talk of old times with old friends is the greatest thing in the world.
Will Rogers
A senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow senators sons of wild jackasses. Now, if you think the senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses must feel.
Will Rogers
It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers
A Democrat is just like a baby. If it's hollering and making a lot of noise, there is nothing serious the matter with it. When it's quiet and doesn't pay much attention to anything, that's when it's really dangerous.
Will Rogers
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
Will Rogers
Statistics have proven that the surest way to get anything out of the public mind and never hear of it again is to have a Senate committee appointed to look into it.
Will Rogers
There isn't any finer folks living than a Republican that votes the Democratic ticket.
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
