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.

More quotes by Will Rogers
We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are.
Will Rogers
There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.
Will Rogers
Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement.

All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.
Will Rogers
What's considered enough money? Just a little bit more.
Will Rogers
In all your life, you will never find a method more effective in getting through to another person than to make that person feel important.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Nothing you can't spell will ever work.
Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
People want just taxes more than they want lower taxes. They want to know that every man is paying his proportionate share according to his wealth.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
Will Rogers
Farmers, get out your sense of humor. Congress meets to relieve you again next week.
