This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die.

The trip across Arizona is just one oasis after another. You can just throw anything out and it will grow there, I like Arizona.

When should a college athlete turn pro? Not until he has earned all he can in college as an amateur.
Will Rogers
Image
Do anything in this world but monkey with somebody eles's religion. What reasoning of conceit makes anyone think theirs is right?
Will Rogers
Image
The minute a thing is long and complicated, it confuses. Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made 'em short. They may not always be kept, but they are understood.

Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.

A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.

Image
I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody a chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it.

I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the election is another thing. The old voter is getting so he wants to be saved before October every election year.

We're all ignorant, just about different stuff.
Will Rogers

Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr.
Will Rogers
Image
It wasn't what we needed then that was hurting us, it was what we was paying for that we had already used up. The country was just buying gasoline for a leaky tank. Everything was going into a gopher hole and you couldent see where you was going to get any of it back.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
Will Rogers

I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.
Will Rogers
Image
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
