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.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
The American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible, exception of stupidity.

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
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
Will Rogers

You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best. My only solution would be to keep em both out one term and hire my good friend Henry Ford to run the whole thing, and give him a commission on what he saves us.

Will Rogers
Let advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn't have to advertise it.
Will Rogers
We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.
Will Rogers
I love horses and I only ask-don't let me know which one we are eating today.
Will Rogers
One thing I will say about the Germans, they are always perfectly willing to give somebody's land to somebody else
Will Rogers
Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.
Will Rogers
The public perceives there are problems with the water system, and with the efficiency of the system. We need some leadership and to provide expertise in the area of efficiency.

Don't wait to buy land, buy land and wait.
