We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.
Will Rogers

Banking and after-dinner speaking are two of the most nonessential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform, if they are.
Will Rogers
Image
I haven't seen a tractor working all day. The country has gone sane and got back to horses. Farmers all look worse, but they feel better.
Will Rogers
Image
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Image
The stock market has spoiled more appetites than bad cooking.
Will Rogers
Image
There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators.
Will Rogers
Image
The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.
Will Rogers
Image
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.

The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

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
Image
Our whole Depression was brought on by gambling, not in the stock market alone but in expanding and borrowing and going in debt... all just to make some easy money quick.
Will Rogers
Image
The small town is passing. It was the incubator that hatched all our big men, and that's why we haven't got as many big men today as we used to have. Take every small-town-raised leader out of business and you would have nobody left running it but vice-presidents.
Will Rogers
Image
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Will Rogers
Image
A man who dies without adequate life insurance should have to come back and see the mess he created.
Will Rogers
Image
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
Image
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Will Rogers
Image
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
Image
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
Will Rogers
Image
Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.

A fool and his money are soon elected.
