More quotes by Will Rogers
It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
Will Rogers
Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr.
Will Rogers
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
So the question rises: How much liberty can you get away with? Well, you get no more liberty than you give!
Will Rogers
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.
Will Rogers
Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Will Rogers
The more ignorant you are, the quicker you fight.
Will Rogers
I am telling folks that the Country as a whole is Sound, and that all those who's heads are solid are bound to get back into the market again. I tell 'em that this Country is bigger than Wall Street, and if they don't believe it, I show 'em the map.
Will Rogers
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
Will Rogers
Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
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
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
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Will Rogers
Let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help them back to bed again.
Will Rogers
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
Will Rogers
There wasn't any more truth in over half of what any so-called orator said. If it wasn't a Deliberate Lie, why it was an Exaggerated Falsehood.
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
