Why one Ad is worth more to a paper than 40 Editorials.
Will Rogers
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
Will Rogers
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
The taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips abroad. It might be worth it except they keep coming back
Will Rogers
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
Don't gamble take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.
Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton originated the put and take system in our national treasury: the taxpayers put it in, and the politicians take it out
Will Rogers
I argue with wife over what little pieces of real estate investments we should try to pay on and hold, and which to let go back. We always said, Put it in land, and you can always walk on it. We did, but no buyers would walk on it with us.
Will Rogers
You can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war as you can in one protecting your own home.
Will Rogers
A company is known by the people it keeps.
Will Rogers
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.
Will Rogers
You have a wonderful organization. I understand you have ten thousand here. And if you count the ones in the various federal prisons, it brings your total membership up to around thirty thousand.
Will Rogers
When you have helped to raise the standard of cooking, you have helped to raise the only thing in the world that really matters. We only have one or two wars in a lifetime, but we have three meals a day -- there's nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating.
Will Rogers
No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.
Will Rogers
All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.
