Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will Rogers
What the Secretary of Agriculture is trying to do is to teach the farmer corn acreage control, and the hogs birth control, and one is just as hard to make understand it as the other.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will Rogers
The Senate just sits and waits till they find out what the president wants, so they know how to vote against him.
Will Rogers
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
