The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.

More quotes by Will Rogers
If any of us had a child that we thought was as bad as we know we are, we would have cause to start to worry.
Will Rogers
Every land or property owner in America would be tickled to death to pay 45 per cent of his profits, if he didn't have to pay anything if he didn't make it.
Will Rogers
The taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips abroad. It might be worth it except they keep coming back
Will Rogers
Americans are getting like a Ford car, they all have the same exact parts, the same upholstering and make exactly the same noises.

The public perceives there are problems with the water system, and with the efficiency of the system. We need some leadership and to provide expertise in the area of efficiency.
Will Rogers
Candidates have been telling you that if elected they would 'pull you from this bog hole of financial misery.' Now is a good chance to get even with 'em, by electing 'em, just to prove what a liar they are.
Will Rogers
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.

Will Rogers
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
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
I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened.
Will Rogers
I go too fast to see much, only the tops of everything. I've got to prowl slow some time through this country.
Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Will Rogers
If you want to know when a war might be coming, you just watch the U.S. and see when it starts cutting down on its defenses. It's the surest barometer in the world.
Will Rogers
Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else ... I was not a Child Prodigy, because a Child Prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
