More quotes by Will Rogers
If you got a dollar, soak it away, put it in a savings bank, bury it, do anything but spend it. Spending when we didn't have it put us where we are today. Saving when we've got it will get us back to where we was before we went cuckoo.
Will Rogers
Every guy looks in his pocket and then votes.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.

I never met a man I didn't get a kind of strange and exciting tingling sensation from.
Will Rogers
I don't care how poor and inefficient a little country is - they like to run their own business. I know men that would -make my wife a better husband than I am but, darn it, I'm not going to give her to 'em.
Will Rogers
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Will Rogers
A Democrat is just like a baby. If it's hollering and making a lot of noise, there is nothing serious the matter with it. When it's quiet and doesn't pay much attention to anything, that's when it's really dangerous.
Will Rogers
A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.
Will Rogers
Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
Will Rogers
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
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
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
Will Rogers
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
Will Rogers
After seeing kids play polo against big guys, it only shows that horses are the greatest equalizer in the world. No matter what you weigh, the little fellow is your equal on a horse.
Will Rogers
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Will Rogers
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway?
Will Rogers
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers
I was born on Nov. 4, which is election day ... my birthday has made more men and sent more back to honest work than any other days in the year.
