Just because it's common sense, doesn't mean it's common practice.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Candidates have been telling you that if elected they would 'pull you from this bog hole of financial misery.' Now is a good chance to get even with 'em, by electing 'em, just to prove what a liar they are.
Will Rogers
I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the election is another thing. The old voter is getting so he wants to be saved before October every election year.
Will Rogers
I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.
Will Rogers
The man who never makes a mistake must get tired of doing nothing.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best. My only solution would be to keep em both out one term and hire my good friend Henry Ford to run the whole thing, and give him a commission on what he saves us.
Will Rogers
If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway?
Will Rogers
