More quotes by Will Rogers

Image
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
Image
There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
Will Rogers
Image
But we can't alibi all our ills by just knocking the old banker. First he loaned the money, then the people all at once wanted it back, and he didn't have it. Now he's got it again, and is afraid to loan it, so the poor devil don't know what to do.

Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.

Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.
Will Rogers
Image
The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.
Will Rogers
Image
Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Image
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.

Everyone is a self-made man. Only the successful admit it.
Will Rogers
Image
I am proud of the fact there is not a human being that I have got it in for. I never met a man I didn't like.

I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else.

There are men running governments who shouldn't be allowed to play with matches.

The Republicans have a habit of having three bad years and one good one, and the good one always happens to be election years.

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.

America has the best politicians money can buy.
