Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Will Rogers
The Lord so constituted everybody that no matter what color you are you require the same amount of nourishment.
Will Rogers
Rail-splitting produced an immortal president in Lincoln, but golf hasn't produced even a good Congressman.

Will Rogers
Here is my Farm Relief bill: Every time a Southerner plants nothing on his farm but cotton year after year, and the Northerner nothing but wheat or corn, why, take a hammer and hit him twice right between the eyes. You may dent your hammer, but it will do more real good than all the bills you can pass in a year.
