More quotes by Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
There is a tremendous movement on to get lower taxes on earned incomes. Then will come the real problem, 'Who among us on salary are earning our income?'
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
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
You see, in Washington they have these bodies, Senate and the House of Representatives. That is for the convenience of the visitors. If there is nothing funny happening in one, there is sure to be in the other, and in case one body passes a good bill, why, the other can see it in time and kill it.
Will Rogers
Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.
Will Rogers
The self persists like a dying star, In sleep, afraid.
Will Rogers
I have always noticed that people will never laugh at anything that is not based on truth.
Will Rogers
The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody that is sober enough to stagger to the polls will.
Will Rogers
Invest in inflation. It is the only thing going up.
Will Rogers
Every time somebody has thought of relief for the farmer it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more.
Will Rogers
Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will Rogers
It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers
Plans get you into things, but you got to work your way out.
Will Rogers
Don't invite me if you don't want me.
Will Rogers
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.
Will Rogers
She was so ugly she could make a mule back away from an oat bin.
Will Rogers
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
Will Rogers
I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.
