When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from home, you've got to have been looking for it.
Will Rogers
We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it
Will Rogers
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?

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. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.
Will Rogers
There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators.

Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.
Will Rogers
The only thing that can stop hair from falling ... is the floor.
Will Rogers
There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. But he can't make a living for them and his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people
Will Rogers
The old horse is coming back in a high lope. Thousands of people are riding a horse today that five years ago couldn't sit in a Ford with all the doors locked.
Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
Will Rogers
I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.
Will Rogers
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
