More quotes by Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
Cattlemen have lost more in the last few years than anybody and say less about it.
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.
Will Rogers
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Will Rogers
The Democrats are going to change the name of the Hoover Dam. That is the silliest thing I ever heard of in politics . . . Lord if they feel that way about it, I don't see why they don't just reverse the two words.
Will Rogers
It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
Will Rogers
Senators are a never-ending source of amusement, amazement, and discouragement.
Will Rogers
Technocracy wants to do everything by machinery. Machinery is doing just fine. If it can't kill you, it will put you out of work.
Will Rogers
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
Will Rogers
We have the best Congress that money can buy.
Will Rogers
You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.
Will Rogers
The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war.
Will Rogers
I represent what is left of a vanishing race, and that is the pedestrian. That I am still able to be here, I owe to a keen eye and a nimble pair of legs. But I know they'll get me someday.
Will Rogers
I'm not against (bull fighting). Some nations like to see blood, and some like to see their victims suffer from speculation... They kill the bull very quick. Wall Street lets you live and suffer.
Will Rogers
America is a land of opportunity and don't ever forget it.
Will Rogers
I will never joke about old soldiers who try to get to reunions to talk over the war again. To talk of old times with old friends is the greatest thing in the world.
Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
Will Rogers
