In Hollywood the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can't read. If they could read their stuff, they'd stop writing.

More quotes by Will Rogers
Well, the disarmament conference is off to a flying start. There is nothing to prevent their succeeding now but human nature.
Will Rogers
One revolution is like one cocktail, it just gets you organized for the next.
Will Rogers
The Democrats and the Republicans are equally corrupt where money is concerned. It's only in the amount where the Republicans excel.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.
Will Rogers
When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do well, that's Memoirs.
Will Rogers
There is no income tax in Russia. But there's no income.
Will Rogers
We cuss Congress, and we joke about 'em, but they are all good fellows at heart, and if they wasn't in Congress, why, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worse.
Will Rogers
If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
Will Rogers
The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.
Will Rogers
If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway?
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.
Will Rogers
Does college pay? They do if you are a good open-field runner.
Will Rogers
America has the best politicians money can buy.
Will Rogers
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
It looks like the financial giants of the world have bungled as much as the diplomats and politicians. This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the Congressional Record. They have had some awful funny articles in there lately. As our government deteriorates, our humor increases.
