I love words but I don't like strange ones. You don't understand them and they don't understand you. Old words is like old friends, you know 'em the minute you see 'em.

More quotes by Will Rogers
America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.
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
I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.
Will Rogers

Parades should be classed as a Nuisance and participants should be subject to a term in prison. They stop more work, inconvenience more people, stop more traffic, cause more accidents, entail more expense, and commit and cause I don't remember the other hundred misdemeanors.
Will Rogers
Politicians can do more funny things naturally than I can think of to do purposely
Will Rogers
I have always claimed Americans didn't want a drink as bad as they wanted the right to take a drink if they did happen to want one.
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
I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.
Will Rogers
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
Will Rogers
Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
Will Rogers
Does college pay? They do if you are a good open-field runner.
Will Rogers
Real estate is the best investment in the world because it is the only thing they're not making any more.
Will Rogers
Work to make a living serve to make a life.
