More quotes by Will Rogers
Will somebody please tell me what they do with all the Vice-Presidents a bank has? Why the United States is the biggest business institution in the world, and they got only one Vice-President and nobody has ever found anything for him to do.
Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
Will Rogers
A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet.
Will Rogers
The way to make money in the stock market is to buy a stock. Then, when it goes up, sell it. If it's not going to go up, don't buy it!
Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
If this depression stays with us, the loser Tuesday is going to be the winner.
Will Rogers
They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
Will Rogers
George Bernard Shaw of England stopped over just long enough to make one speech in Bombay, India, started a war and 100 Indians killed each other. That's what I call good speech-making. The only enthusiasm any of our speakers can rouse is a demand to kill the speaker.
Will Rogers
Be a politician no training necessary.
Will Rogers
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.
Will Rogers
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
Will Rogers
With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
Will Rogers
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these acceptance speeches there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.
Will Rogers
Common sense is not an issue in politics--it's an affliction.
