More quotes by Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, love what you are doing.
Will Rogers
Don't gamble take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.
Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers
You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But it isn't necessary.

Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
No man is great if he thinks he is.
Will Rogers
Don't wait to buy land, Buy land and wait. Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there.
Will Rogers
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
Will Rogers
I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
Will Rogers
There is a hundred things to single you out for promotion in party politics besides ability.
Will Rogers
I'm not a member of an organized party. I'm a Democrat.
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
