More quotes by Will Rogers
The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody that is sober enough to stagger to the polls will.
Will Rogers
There is something about a Republican that you can only stand him just so long and on the other hand, there is something about a Democrat that you can't stand him quite that long.
Will Rogers
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
Will Rogers
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
Will Rogers
It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.
Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
My father was one-eighth Cherokee indian and my mother was quarter-blood Cherokee. I never got far enough in arithmetic to figure out how much injun that made me, but there's nothing of which I am more proud than my Cherokee blood.
Will Rogers
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
Be a politician no training necessary.
Will Rogers
In Europe public men do resign. But here it's a lost art. You have to impeach 'em.
Will Rogers
Don't invite me if you don't want me.
Will Rogers
You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one
Will Rogers
Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers
We fed 'em Xmas and New Years now all the poor have to do is just fill the few meals until next Xmas
Will Rogers
A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.
Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
