More quotes by Will Rogers
There is nothing as easy as denouncing. It don't take much to see that something is wrong, but it does take some eyesight to see what will put it right again
Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.
Will Rogers
When you have helped to raise the standard of cooking, you have helped to raise the only thing in the world that really matters. We only have one or two wars in a lifetime, but we have three meals a day -- there's nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
Common sense is not an issue in politics--it's an affliction.
Will Rogers
I never met a man I didn't get a kind of strange and exciting tingling sensation from.
Will Rogers
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
Will Rogers
Everything worthwhile is a good idea, but did you ever notice there is more bad ideas that will work than there is good ones?
Will Rogers
A holding company is the people you give your money to while you're being searched.
Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will Rogers
You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.
Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
Will Rogers
The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it's been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.
Will Rogers
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Texas is a great state. It's the 'Old Man River' of states. No matter who runs it or what happens to it politically, it just keeps rolling along!
Will Rogers
Never miss a chance to shut up
Will Rogers
The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.
Will Rogers
I am a great believer in high-priced people. If a thing cost a lot it may not be any better, but it adds a certain amount of class that the cheap thing can never approach in the long run it's the higher-priced things that are the cheapest.
Will Rogers
There is a tremendous movement on to get lower taxes on earned incomes. Then will come the real problem, 'Who among us on salary are earning our income?'
Will Rogers
You got to do more than just live in the country to be a Farmer.
