More quotes by Will Rogers
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Will Rogers
Believe in something for another world, but don't be too set on what it is, and then you won't start out that life with a disappontment. Live your life so that whenever you lose you are ahead.
Will Rogers
I argue with wife over what little pieces of real estate investments we should try to pay on and hold, and which to let go back. We always said, Put it in land, and you can always walk on it. We did, but no buyers would walk on it with us.
Will Rogers
I have Indian Blood in me. I have just enough white blood for you to question my honesty!
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
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.
Will Rogers
Conferences are just like the poor and the Democrats, they will always be with us.
Will Rogers
Just because it's common sense, doesn't mean it's common practice.

You know, a Communist's whole life work is based on complaint of how everything is done.... So if they ever get their country running good they will defeat their own cause.
Will Rogers
The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.
Will Rogers
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.
Will Rogers
Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
Will Rogers
People love high ideals, but they got to be about 33-percent plausible
Will Rogers
A senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow senators sons of wild jackasses. Now, if you think the senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses must feel.
Will Rogers
You have to have a serious streak in you, or you can't see the funny side of the other fellow.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
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
Senators are a never-ending source of amusement, amazement, and discouragement.
