The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war.
Will Rogers
It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
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
We are always yapping about the 'Good Old Days' and how we look back and enjoy it, but I tell you there is a lot of hooey to it. There is a whole lot of all our past lives that wasn't so hot.
Will Rogers
If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.
Will Rogers
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Will Rogers
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The Ways & Means Committee is a committee that's supposed to find the Ways to divide up the Means.
Will Rogers
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these acceptance speeches there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.
Will Rogers
See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Mona Lisa is the only beauty who went through history and retained her reputation.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
Will Rogers
But we can't alibi all our ills by just knocking the old banker. First he loaned the money, then the people all at once wanted it back, and he didn't have it. Now he's got it again, and is afraid to loan it, so the poor devil don't know what to do.
Will Rogers
You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
Will Rogers
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
Will Rogers
If a thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But on a thousand acres of land you pay enough to support half the community who own no land and pay no taxes.
Will Rogers
