More quotes by Will Rogers
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
We know lots of things we didn't use to know but we don't know any way to prevent 'em from happening.
Will Rogers
That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.
Will Rogers
You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
Foreign relations is an open book-- generally a checkbook.
Will Rogers
These dust storms.... Poor farmer spent a lifetime fixin' his farm and everything, goes out and looks down at it, and it's up above him.
Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.
Will Rogers
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
Will Rogers
The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.
Will Rogers
Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise what they would do if they got in. But the Republicans have to promise what they would do and then explain why they haven't already done it.
Will Rogers
My forefathers didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.
Will Rogers
Asking Europe to disarm is like asking a man in Chicago to give up his life insurance.
Will Rogers
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.
Will Rogers
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
Will Rogers
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Will Rogers
