More quotes by Will Rogers
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Will Rogers
There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.
Will Rogers
Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.
Will Rogers
There is not a better day in the world to be spent than with a lot of wise old cowmen around barbecued beef, black coffee and good free holy beans.
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
I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with.
Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
It looks like the financial giants of the world have bungled as much as the diplomats and politicians. This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something.
Will Rogers
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.
Will Rogers
A senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow senators sons of wild jackasses. Now, if you think the senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses must feel.
Will Rogers
I hope we never live to see the day when a thing is as bad as some of our newspapers make it.
Will Rogers
Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.
Will Rogers
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
Will Rogers
Every day you meet a delegation going to some convention to try and change the way of somebody else's life.
Will Rogers
I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
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.
Will Rogers
Every Gag I tell must be based on truth. No matter how much I may exaggerate it, it must have a certain amount of Truth.... Now Rumor travels Faster, but it don't stay put as long as Truth.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers
No nation ever had two better friends that we have. You know who they are? The Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
Will Rogers
