Will Rogers
One of the evils of democracy is, you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not.
Will Rogers
I represent what is left of a vanishing race, and that is the pedestrian. That I am still able to be here, I owe to a keen eye and a nimble pair of legs. But I know they'll get me someday.
Will Rogers
American invents everything, but the trouble is we get tired of it the minute the new is wore off.
Will Rogers
When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.
Will Rogers
There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.
Will Rogers
They are having quite an argument over Treasury Secretary Mellon's Tax Bill. Mr. Mellon wants to cut the surtax on the rich, and leave it as is on the poor, as there is more poor than rich. I suppose the majority will win.
Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
