More quotes by Will Rogers
Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic situation? We spent six years of wild buying on credit - everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not - and now we are having to pay for 'em, and we are howling like a pet coon.
Will Rogers
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.
Will Rogers
People are marvelous in their generosity, if they just know the cause is there.
Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
A Republican moves slowly. They are what we call conservatives. A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't always have plenty of money. A Democrat is a fellow who never had any, but doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't have some.
Will Rogers
Common sense ain't common.
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
Will Rogers
I'm not against (bull fighting). Some nations like to see blood, and some like to see their victims suffer from speculation... They kill the bull very quick. Wall Street lets you live and suffer.
Will Rogers
We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.
Will Rogers
We're all ignorant, just about different stuff.
Will Rogers
The self persists like a dying star, In sleep, afraid.
Will Rogers
You know, a Communist's whole life work is based on complaint of how everything is done.... So if they ever get their country running good they will defeat their own cause.
Will Rogers
Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will Rogers
I traveled a good deal all over the world, and I got along pretty good in all these foreign countries, for I have a theory that it's their country and they got a right to run it like they want to.
Will Rogers
The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.
Will Rogers
A holding company is the people you give your money to while you're being searched.
Will Rogers
Every time a woman leaves off something she looks better, but every time a man leaves off something he looks worse.
Will Rogers
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb
