More quotes by Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
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.
Will Rogers
We are the only nation in the world that waits till we get into a war before we start getting ready for it.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I dont even have to exaggerate.
Will Rogers
When a fellow ain't got much mind, it don't take him long to make it up.
Will Rogers
We cuss Congress, and we joke about 'em, but they are all good fellows at heart, and if they wasn't in Congress, why, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worse.
Will Rogers
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
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
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
I wonder if it isn't just cowardice instead of generosity that makes us give tips.
Will Rogers
Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.
Will Rogers
If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.
Will Rogers
People should be more concerned with the return of their principal than the return on their principal.
Will Rogers
What would we say if the Chinese sent a gunboat with their marines up the Mississippi River claiming they were protecting their laundries in Memphis?
Will Rogers
Successful colleges will start laying plans for a new stadium unsuccessful ones will start hunting a new coach
Will Rogers
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers
