More quotes by Will Rogers
If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
Will Rogers
The American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible, exception of stupidity.
Will Rogers
Old Hollywood is just like a desert water in Africa. Hang around long enough and every kind of animal in the world will drift in for refreshments.
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
Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
Will Rogers
It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.
Will Rogers
Banking and after-dinner speaking are two of the most nonessential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform, if they are.
Will Rogers
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.
Will Rogers
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
Ammunition beats persuasion when you are looking for freedom.
Will Rogers
There is a hundred things to single you out for promotion in party politics besides ability.
Will Rogers
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Will Rogers
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
Will Rogers
Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, 'Farmers, you are in a hole. I can't help you, but I will get in with you.' He did. That made it fine so the farmers were satisfied as long as Coolidge was going to get in with them.
Will Rogers
There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
Will Rogers
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
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
