More quotes by Will Rogers
There's a simple solution to our traffic problems. We'll have business build the roads, and government build the cars.
Will Rogers
With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
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
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers
I don't think either one of them knows what it's all about, to be honest with you. Both sides are doing nothing but just looking towards the next election.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
I represent what is left of a vanishing race, and that is the pedestrian. That I am still able to be here, I owe to a keen eye and a nimble pair of legs. But I know they'll get me someday.
Will Rogers
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.
Will Rogers
I like to hear a man talk about himself because then I never hear anything, but good.
Will Rogers
They are voting whether to keep a governor two years or four. I think a good, honest governor should get four years, and the others life.
Will Rogers
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.
Will Rogers
If you want to know when a war might be coming, you just watch the U.S. and see when it starts cutting down on its defenses. It's the surest barometer in the world.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.
