I don't know what humor is.
Will Rogers
If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.
Will Rogers
There's a simple solution to our traffic problems. We'll have business build the roads, and government build the cars.
Will Rogers
A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.
Will Rogers
Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
Will Rogers
I don't think either one of them knows what it's all about, to be honest with you. Both sides are doing nothing but just looking towards the next election.
Will Rogers
Nothing you can't spell will ever work.
Will Rogers
