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
What's considered enough money? Just a little bit more.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.
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
Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers.
Will Rogers
Harvard students have completed more English courses and less forward passes than any school in this generation.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. My folks were Indian. Both my mother and father had Cherokee blood in them. I was born and raised in Indian Territory. 'Course we're not the Americans whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but we met them at the boat when they landed.
Will Rogers
In politics practically everything you hear is scandal, and besides, the funny thing is that the things they are whispering ain't half has bad as the things they have been saying right out loud.
Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
Will Rogers
The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match.
Will Rogers
This thing about getting rid of a man in the Cabinet is all right, but there is one bad feature to it that few people realize. That is, that unfortunately every one of them is replaced by someone else. If it wasn't for that, this resignation business would be great.
Will Rogers
Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses... which has proved to be nothing.
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.
Will Rogers
This session of Congress is also to relieve the farmer again, relieve him of any encouragement that he might have received during the last one.
Will Rogers
There's no way in the world you're going to make a political party respectable unless you keep it out of office.
