More quotes by Will Rogers
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will Rogers
I don't care how poor and inefficient a little country is - they like to run their own business. I know men that would -make my wife a better husband than I am but, darn it, I'm not going to give her to 'em.
Will Rogers
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers
There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
Will Rogers
Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers
Be a politician no training necessary.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Any person that don't read at least one well-written country newspaper is not truly informed.
Will Rogers
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?
Will Rogers
It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
Will Rogers
In politics practically everything you hear is scandal, and besides, the funny thing is that the things they are whispering ain't half has bad as the things they have been saying right out loud.
Will Rogers
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Will Rogers
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
Will Rogers
Local conservation programs can help our communities shape thoughtful growth.
Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
We will never get anywhere with our finances till we pass a law saying...every time we appropriate something, we...pass another bill...stating where the money is coming from.
Will Rogers
