More quotes by Will Rogers
An economist is a man that can 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
Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Will Rogers
About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.
Will Rogers
I wonder if it isn't just cowardice instead of generosity that makes us give tips.

Live your life so that whenever you lose, you are ahead.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.
Will Rogers
The only thing that can stop hair from falling ... is the floor.
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
You know, a Communist's whole life work is based on complaint of how everything is done.... So if they ever get their country running good they will defeat their own cause.
Will Rogers
