More quotes by Will Rogers
President Coolidge said, 'I don't want the Government to go into business.' Well, if I was Mr. Coolidge I wouldn't worry over that. The Government never has been accused of being a business man.

Will Rogers

Will Rogers
When you figure it right down, none of us are in a really essential business but the farmer, and he raises so much that even his business is partly non-essential.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
Will Rogers
Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.
Will Rogers
The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.
Will Rogers
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Will Rogers
Democrats are the only reason to vote for Republicans
