More quotes by Will Rogers
The man that found the 726-carat diamond in Africa, received $350,000 for it and wants to buy a farm and silk hat. Well, I can understand a man perhaps being eccentric enough to want to own a silk hat.
Will Rogers
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers
Congress is deadlocked and can’t act.
Will Rogers
The Democrats and the Republicans are equally corrupt where money is concerned. It's only in the amount where the Republicans excel.
Will Rogers
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?
Will Rogers
If you got a dollar, soak it away, put it in a savings bank, bury it, do anything but spend it. Spending when we didn't have it put us where we are today. Saving when we've got it will get us back to where we was before we went cuckoo.
Will Rogers
Under capitalism man exploits man under socialism the reverse is true.
Will Rogers
If you are trying to get out of the hole, stop digging.
Will Rogers
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
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
I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him 'father.'
Will Rogers
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
Will Rogers
I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
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
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
Will Rogers
Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man we never get to vote on what he is to do.
Will Rogers
In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.
Will Rogers
Those tax-exempt bonds were put in so that a town or a state or a government could sell more bonds than it ought to.
