More quotes by Will Rogers
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
Will Rogers
Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it's not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.
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
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. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.
Will Rogers
Some guy invented Vitamin A out of a carrot. I'll bet he can't invent a good meal out of one.
Will Rogers
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Will Rogers
There is something about a Republican that you can only stand him just so long and on the other hand, there is something about a Democrat that you can't stand him quite that long.
Will Rogers
I like to hear a man talk about himself because then I never hear anything, but good.
Will Rogers
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.
Will Rogers
Will somebody please tell me what they do with all the Vice-Presidents a bank has? Why the United States is the biggest business institution in the world, and they got only one Vice-President and nobody has ever found anything for him to do.
Will Rogers
You shake a slogan at an American and it's just like showing a hungry dog a bone.
Will Rogers
I will never joke about old soldiers who try to get to reunions to talk over the war again. To talk of old times with old friends is the greatest thing in the world.
Will Rogers
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
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
There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.
Will Rogers
We fed 'em Xmas and New Years now all the poor have to do is just fill the few meals until next Xmas
Will Rogers
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Will Rogers
The deer season just opened. A deer hunter in Ventura Country brought in his first man yesterday.
