More quotes by Will Rogers
People learn more from observation that they do from conversation.
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
When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
Will Rogers
Don't raise anything, except what fits your appetite. Then the price don't worry you. Just raise all you can eat and let the low prices go by.
Will Rogers
The United States never lost a war or won a conference.
Will Rogers
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Will Rogers
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Will Rogers
There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.
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
They used to take your horse and if they were caught they got hung for it. Now they take your car, and if they are caught it's a miracle.
Will Rogers
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
I would never make a good economist. You know, an economist is a man that can tell you anything about — well, he will tell you what can happen under any given condition — and his guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's, too.
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
The Senate just sits and waits till they find out what the president wants, so they know how to vote against him.
Will Rogers
The trouble with Democrats is that they all want to run for President
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
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Will Rogers
The only way to solve the traffic problems of the country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars are allowed to use the highways. That would make traffic so scarce, we could use our boulevards for children's playgrounds.
