More quotes by Will Rogers
When everybody has got money they cut taxes, and when they're broke they raise them. That's statesmanship of the highest order.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
Will Rogers
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Will Rogers
See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails
Will Rogers
