Will Rogers
When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.
Will Rogers
America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.
Will Rogers
There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you ain't a thing.
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
Will Rogers
There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.

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
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
Be a politician no training necessary.
Will Rogers
The theater is a great equalizer: it is the only place where the poor can look down on the rich.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
