Now they got such a high inheritance tax on 'em that you won't catch these old rich boys dying promiscuously like they did. This bill makes patriots out of everybody. You sure do die for your country if you die from now on.
Will Rogers
The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
Will Rogers
When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from home, you've got to have been looking for it.
Will Rogers
You should never try and teach a pig to read for two reasons. First, it's impossible and secondly, it annoys the hell out of the pig!.
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
The Schools ain't what they used to be and never was.
Will Rogers
There is nothing as easy as denouncing. It don't take much to see that something is wrong, but it does take some eyesight to see what will put it right again
Will Rogers
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
