Will Rogers
President Coolidge said, 'I don't want the Government to go into business.' Well, if I was Mr. Coolidge I wouldn't worry over that. The Government never has been accused of being a business man.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.
Will Rogers
No nation ever had two better friends that we have. You know who they are? The Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Will Rogers
A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know him. He has made more history than his critics ever read.
Will Rogers
The theater is a great equalizer: it is the only place where the poor can look down on the rich.
Will Rogers
If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.
