More quotes by Will Rogers
Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
Will Rogers
Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses... which has proved to be nothing.
Will Rogers
Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
Will Rogers
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else, but when it happens to you, why it seems to lose some of its Humor, and if it keeps on happening, why the entire laughter kinder Fades out of it.
Will Rogers
There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I dont even have to exaggerate.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.
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
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
Don't gamble take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling then the world will have peace.
Will Rogers
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game - it, and high taxes.
Will Rogers
In the Middle West now you got to put a brand on your soil, then in the Spring go on a round-up looking for it.
