More quotes by Will Rogers
Noah must have taken into the Ark two taxes, one male and one female. And did they multiply bountifully! Next to guinea pigs, taxes must have been the most prolific animals
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.
Will Rogers
I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the election is another thing. The old voter is getting so he wants to be saved before October every election year.
Will Rogers
Americans are getting like a Ford car, they all have the same exact parts, the same upholstering and make exactly the same noises.
Will Rogers
I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling then the world will have peace.
Will Rogers
It's the fellow who knows when to quit that the audience wants more of.
Will Rogers
Real estate is the best investment in the world because it is the only thing they're not making any more.
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
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
Will Rogers
In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else ... I was not a Child Prodigy, because a Child Prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.
Will Rogers
One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.
Will Rogers
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.
Will Rogers
I wonder if it isn't just cowardice instead of generosity that makes us give tips.
Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, love what you are doing.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
It would drive a person crazy to dope out really what does divide the two parties. Prosperity don't divide the two parties, for under either administration the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
Will Rogers
