More quotes by Will Rogers
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.
Will Rogers
You know you've got to exercise your brain just like your muscles.
Will Rogers
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
Will Rogers
Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic situation? We spent six years of wild buying on credit - everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not - and now we are having to pay for 'em, and we are howling like a pet coon.
Will Rogers
I have always noticed that people will never laugh at anything that is not based on truth.
Will Rogers
If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.
Will Rogers
I hope we never live to see the day when a thing is as bad as some of our newspapers make it.
Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
