More quotes by Will Rogers
A Realtor is an old fashioned Real Estate man with a neck tie. A Real Estate man sold you what you wanted, a Realtor sells you what you don't need. A Real Estate man showed you what you could raise on the land, a Realtor tells you what you can build on it.
Will Rogers
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Will Rogers
Asking Europe to disarm is like asking a man in Chicago to give up his life insurance.
Will Rogers
Spinnin' a rope is fun if your neck ain't in it
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
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
There is not a better day in the world to be spent than with a lot of wise old cowmen around barbecued beef, black coffee and good free holy beans.
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
The budget is like a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, then reaches in and tries to pull real ones out.
Will Rogers
I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him 'father.'
Will Rogers
Of course nothing is ever done about a [presidential] commission report, except, they say, once a man at the state prison for the criminally insane actually read one once clear through. Then he did something about it. He made a bonfire that lasted a week.
Will Rogers
If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.
Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat! If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership.'
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do well, that's Memoirs.
Will Rogers
I love horses and I only ask-don't let me know which one we are eating today.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.
