More quotes by Will Rogers
No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.
Will Rogers
Labor leaders don't do much laboring after they are able to lead.
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
How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual?
Will Rogers
The theater is a great equalizer: it is the only place where the poor can look down on the rich.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Statistics have proven that the surest way to get anything out of the public mind and never hear of it again is to have a Senate committee appointed to look into it.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.
Will Rogers
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will Rogers
With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke.
Will Rogers
The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the President has to tell 'em.
Will Rogers
American invents everything, but the trouble is we get tired of it the minute the new is wore off.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
