More quotes by Will Rogers
Take me ham away, take away my eggs, even my Chili, but leave me my newspaper.
Will Rogers
If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled
Will Rogers
The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it's in the way that it's spent.
Will Rogers
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
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
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Will Rogers
And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
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
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
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
Will Rogers
There is nothing fairer than workmen having unions of their mutual benefit.
Will Rogers
Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Farmers, get out your sense of humor. Congress meets to relieve you again next week.
Will Rogers
The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can't buy enough to eat.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
The Supreme Court is divided almost in half on the decisions. Talk about an international court. How would we ever agree with a lot of foreigners when we can't even agree among our own judges?
Will Rogers
