More quotes by Will Rogers
I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.
Will Rogers
It wasn't what we needed then that was hurting us, it was what we was paying for that we had already used up. The country was just buying gasoline for a leaky tank. Everything was going into a gopher hole and you couldent see where you was going to get any of it back.
Will Rogers
Will Rogers used to say he wouldn't run for president no matter how badly the country needed a comedian.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
A man only learns by two things one is reading and the other is association with smarter people.
Will Rogers
About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.
Will Rogers
We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are.
Will Rogers
I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.
Will Rogers
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
Will Rogers
America is the first country where people go to the poor house in their car.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
Local conservation programs can help our communities shape thoughtful growth.
Will Rogers
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.
Will Rogers
America is a land of opportunity and don't ever forget it.
Will Rogers
There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.
Will Rogers
The bankers just got a good cussing by everybody for loaning too much money. Well, they got some awful nice buildings. So when a banker fails, he fails in splendor.
Will Rogers
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
Will Rogers
A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.
Will Rogers
