Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.

I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened.

Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.

Does college pay? They do if you are a good open-field runner.

In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then.

I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.
Will Rogers
Image
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.

There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you ain't a thing.
Will Rogers
Image
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.

Our country has plenty of five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge fifteen cents for them.
Will Rogers
Image
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.

A fanatic is always the fellow that is on the opposite side.

I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.
