More quotes by Will Rogers
Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury.
Will Rogers
Asking Europe to disarm is like asking a man in Chicago to give up his life insurance.
Will Rogers
I don't think either one of them knows what it's all about, to be honest with you. Both sides are doing nothing but just looking towards the next election.
Will Rogers
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?
Will Rogers
There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking.
Will Rogers
Texas is a great state. It's the 'Old Man River' of states. No matter who runs it or what happens to it politically, it just keeps rolling along!
Will Rogers
If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled
Will Rogers
Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.
Will Rogers
They are having quite an argument over Treasury Secretary Mellon's Tax Bill. Mr. Mellon wants to cut the surtax on the rich, and leave it as is on the poor, as there is more poor than rich. I suppose the majority will win.
Will Rogers
If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses... which has proved to be nothing.
Will Rogers
We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it
Will Rogers
Plans get you into things, but you got to work your way out.
Will Rogers
Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
I hope we never live to see the day when a thing is as bad as some of our newspapers make it.
Will Rogers
In a real estate man's eye, the most expensive part of the city is where he has a house to sell
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like any man that wants to be President in times like these lacks something.
