Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.

More quotes by Will Rogers
I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.
Will Rogers
We cuss Congress, and we joke about 'em, but they are all good fellows at heart, and if they wasn't in Congress, why, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worse.
Will Rogers
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
Will Rogers
We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.
Will Rogers
I don't think you can make a lawyer honest by an act of legislature. You've got to work on his conscience. And his lack of conscience is what makes him a lawyer.
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
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
Will Rogers
Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
Will Rogers
If a man ain't nothin' else, then he's an artist. It's the only thing he can claim to be that nobody can prove he ain't.
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
The minute a thing is long and complicated, it confuses. Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made 'em short. They may not always be kept, but they are understood.
Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.
Will Rogers
You know Lincoln's famous remark about God must have loved the common people, because he made so many of them? Well, you are not going to get people's votes nowadays by calling 'em common. Lincoln might have said it, but I bet it was not until after he was elected.
Will Rogers
Common sense ain't common.
Will Rogers
There is two things that can disrupt business in this country. One is War, and the other is a meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Will Rogers
It's the fellow who knows when to quit that the audience wants more of.
Will Rogers
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Will Rogers
With old inflation riding the headlines, I have read till I am bleary-eyed, and I can't get head from tails of the whole thing. ... Now we are living in an age of explanations-and plenty of 'em, too-but no two things that's been done to us have been explained twice the same way, by even the same man. It's and age of in one ear and out the other.
Will Rogers
Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can't buy enough to eat.
Will Rogers
I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.
