More quotes by Will Rogers
The way to make money in the stock market is to buy a stock. Then, when it goes up, sell it. If it's not going to go up, don't buy it!
Will Rogers
A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.
Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
I wonder if it isn't just cowardice instead of generosity that makes us give tips.

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
Don't just grab at the first thing that comes along. Know when to refuse something that won't get you anywhere
Will Rogers
Every day you meet a delegation going to some convention to try and change the way of somebody else's life.
Will Rogers
They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
Will Rogers
You must judge a man's greatness by how much he will be missed.
Will Rogers
Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
Will Rogers
If everybody (traded his car for a horse) they would be out of debt in a couple of years. Just think, no gas, no tires, no roads to pay for.
Will Rogers
If Wall Street paid a tax on every “game” they run, we would get enough revenue to run the government on.
Will Rogers
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game - it, and high taxes.
Will Rogers
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers
I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers
Our country has plenty of five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge fifteen cents for them.
Will Rogers
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
