More quotes by Will Rogers
Your mothers get mighty shocked at you girls nowadays, but in her day, her mother was just on the verge of sending her to reform school.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
Don't wait to buy land, Buy land and wait. Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.
Will Rogers
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will Rogers
If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.
Will Rogers
Will Rogers used to say he wouldn't run for president no matter how badly the country needed a comedian.
Will Rogers
There is some talk of lowering (the income tax), and they will have to. People are not making enough to pay it.
Will Rogers
Things will get better - despite our efforts to improve them.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
There is one guaranteed formula for failure, and that is to try to please everyone.
Will Rogers
It is not the return on my investment that I am concerned about it's the return of my investment
Will Rogers
A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet.
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else ... I was not a Child Prodigy, because a Child Prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.
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
