A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know him. He has made more history than his critics ever read.

More quotes by Will Rogers
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
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.
Will Rogers
You could transfer Congress over to run Standard Oil or General Motors, and they would have both things bankrupt in two years.
Will Rogers
The problem ain't what people know. It's what people know that ain't so that's the problem.
Will Rogers
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
You could be the World's greatest orator and if you don't say anything while orating, they are going to walk out on you after a while.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
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
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?
Will Rogers
If you want to know how a man stands, go among the people who are in his same business.
Will Rogers
Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.
Will Rogers
A man only learns by two things one is reading and the other is association with smarter people.
Will Rogers
After seeing kids play polo against big guys, it only shows that horses are the greatest equalizer in the world. No matter what you weigh, the little fellow is your equal on a horse.
Will Rogers
We're all ignorant, just about different stuff.
Will Rogers
I'm not so much interested in the return ON my money as I am in the return OF my money.
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
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
If you let women have their way, you will generally get even with them in the end.
Will Rogers
The man who never makes a mistake must get tired of doing nothing.
