More quotes by Will Rogers
Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.
Will Rogers
No man is great if he thinks he is.
Will Rogers
You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual?
Will Rogers
Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can't figure out.
Will Rogers
Technocracy wants to do everything by machinery. Machinery is doing just fine. If it can't kill you, it will put you out of work.
Will Rogers
Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
You can have all the advanced war methods you want, but, after all, nobody has ever invented a war that you don't have to have somebody in the guise of soldiers to stop the bullets.
Will Rogers
I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
A man who dies without adequate life insurance should have to come back and see the mess he created.
Will Rogers
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
Will Rogers
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
Will Rogers
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Will Rogers
Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the Congressional Record. They have had some awful funny articles in there lately. As our government deteriorates, our humor increases.
Will Rogers
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
We are always saying: Let the Law take its Course but what we really mean is: Let the Law take OUR Course.
Will Rogers
George Bernard Shaw of England stopped over just long enough to make one speech in Bombay, India, started a war and 100 Indians killed each other. That's what I call good speech-making. The only enthusiasm any of our speakers can rouse is a demand to kill the speaker.
Will Rogers
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
