More quotes by Will Rogers
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will Rogers
But we can't alibi all our ills by just knocking the old banker. First he loaned the money, then the people all at once wanted it back, and he didn't have it. Now he's got it again, and is afraid to loan it, so the poor devil don't know what to do.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like any man that wants to be President in times like these lacks something.
Will Rogers
People learn more from observation that they do from conversation.
Will Rogers
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
Will Rogers
A man who dies without adequate life insurance should have to come back and see the mess he created.
Will Rogers
Nothing you can't spell will ever work.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.
Will Rogers
We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
Will Rogers
I'm not so much interested in the return ON my money as I am in the return OF my money.
Will Rogers
Don't raise anything, except what fits your appetite. Then the price don't worry you. Just raise all you can eat and let the low prices go by.
Will Rogers
If you want to know how a man stands, go among the people who are in his same business.
Will Rogers
I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.
Will Rogers
I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
Will Rogers
I am a great believer in high-priced people. If a thing cost a lot it may not be any better, but it adds a certain amount of class that the cheap thing can never approach in the long run it's the higher-priced things that are the cheapest.
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
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
Will Rogers
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Will Rogers
