More quotes by Will Rogers
Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man we never get to vote on what he is to do.
Will Rogers
I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody a chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it.
Will Rogers
Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous.
Will Rogers
You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But it isn't necessary.
Will Rogers
He [Calvin Coolidge] is the first president to discover that what the American people want is to be left alone.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers
A Republican moves slowly. They are what we call conservatives. A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't always have plenty of money. A Democrat is a fellow who never had any, but doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't have some.
Will Rogers
You can have all the advanced war methods you want, but, after all, nobody has ever invented a war that you don't have to have somebody in the guise of soldiers to stop the bullets.
Will Rogers
The budget is like a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, then reaches in and tries to pull real ones out.
Will Rogers
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
Will Rogers
The high income tax come pretty near passing in the Senate. Only lacked about six votes. So it won't be long now. Well, there is millions and millions that are not making it, that would be glad to give up 99 per cent if you would let 'em earn a hundred thousand or more.
Will Rogers
I never met a man that I didn't like.
Will Rogers
We are always saying: Let the Law take its Course but what we really mean is: Let the Law take OUR Course.
Will Rogers
The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.
Will Rogers
We are the only nation in the world that waits till we get into a war before we start getting ready for it.
Will Rogers
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb
Will Rogers
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Will Rogers
All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.
Will Rogers
