Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
Will Rogers
The more ignorant you are, the quicker you fight.
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
One way to solve the traffic problem is to keep all the cars that are not paid for off the streets.
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
I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.
Will Rogers
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
Every man is ignorant - just on different subjects.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.
Will Rogers
America is a land of opportunity and don't ever forget it.
Will Rogers
If we took Congress seriously, we would be worrying all the time.
Will Rogers
Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
