More quotes by Will Rogers
Many a politician wishes there was a law to burn old records.
Will Rogers
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
You see, in Washington they have these bodies, Senate and the House of Representatives. That is for the convenience of the visitors. If there is nothing funny happening in one, there is sure to be in the other, and in case one body passes a good bill, why, the other can see it in time and kill it.
Will Rogers
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.
Will Rogers
Don't be misled by History, or any other unreliable source.
Will Rogers
People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing.
Will Rogers
When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to California, they raised the average intelligence level in both states.
Will Rogers
There is nothing as easy as denouncing. It don't take much to see that something is wrong, but it does take some eyesight to see what will put it right again
Will Rogers
George Washington was quite a farmer. He was a farmer, Civil Engineer and gentleman. He made enough at civil engineering to indulge in both the other luxuries.
Will Rogers
Every time a woman leaves off something she looks better, but every time a man leaves off something he looks worse.
Will Rogers
It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Will Rogers
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Will Rogers
Every guy looks in his pocket and then votes.
Will Rogers
If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute and it'll change.
Will Rogers
Does college pay? They do if you are a good open-field runner.
Will Rogers
Horses raise what the farmer eats and eats what the farmer raises. You can't plow the ground and get gasoline.
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
