More quotes by Will Rogers
Every Gag I tell must be based on truth. No matter how much I may exaggerate it, it must have a certain amount of Truth.... Now Rumor travels Faster, but it don't stay put as long as Truth.
Will Rogers
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Will Rogers
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
Will Rogers
Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise what they would do if they got in. But the Republicans have to promise what they would do and then explain why they haven't already done it.
Will Rogers
If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives.

You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.
Will Rogers
One thing I will say about the Germans, they are always perfectly willing to give somebody's land to somebody else
Will Rogers
The trip across Arizona is just one oasis after another. You can just throw anything out and it will grow there, I like Arizona.
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
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
Everyone is a self-made man. Only the successful admit it.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that the Democrat is a cannibal, they live off each other, while the Republicans live off the Democrats.
Will Rogers
The best thing about this group of candidates is that only one of them can win.
Will Rogers
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
Sometimes people deserve a high five, in the face, with a chair.
