I make a living off (politicians), so I can't knock 'em. Every time we elect some fellow we think he's terrible and then when we get another one in he's worse. So, I am always in favor of keeping the one we've got and let the other go.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
It wasn't what we needed then that was hurting us, it was what we was paying for that we had already used up. The country was just buying gasoline for a leaky tank. Everything was going into a gopher hole and you couldent see where you was going to get any of it back.
Will Rogers
My own mother died when I was 10 years old. My folks have told me that what little humor I have comes from her. I can't remember her humor, but I can remember her love and understanding of me.

The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Will Rogers
Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
Will Rogers
We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.
Will Rogers
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
Will Rogers
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Will Rogers
Don't just grab at the first thing that comes along. Know when to refuse something that won't get you anywhere
Will Rogers
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
Will Rogers
We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his money.
Will Rogers
I'm not against (bull fighting). Some nations like to see blood, and some like to see their victims suffer from speculation... They kill the bull very quick. Wall Street lets you live and suffer.
Will Rogers
It costs ten times more to govern us than it used to, and we are not governed one-tenth as good.
Will Rogers
The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war.
Will Rogers
What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.
