More quotes by Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
Will Rogers
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
Will Rogers
There ain't nothing that breaks up homes, country and nations like somebody publishing their memoirs
Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Will Rogers
Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, 'Farmers, you are in a hole. I can't help you, but I will get in with you.' He did. That made it fine so the farmers were satisfied as long as Coolidge was going to get in with them.
Will Rogers
Syntax must be bad, having sin and tax in it.
Will Rogers
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
There is two types of Larceny, Petty and Grand. They are supposed to be the same in the eyes of the law, but judges always put a little extra on you for Petty, which is kind of a fine for stupidness.
Will Rogers
The deer season just opened. A deer hunter in Ventura Country brought in his first man yesterday.
Will Rogers
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
I never met a man I didn't get a kind of strange and exciting tingling sensation from.
Will Rogers
Outside of traffic, there is nothing that has held this country back as much as committees.
Will Rogers
On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
Will Rogers
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
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
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
Every man gets an opportunity once in a lifetime.
Will Rogers
In all your life, you will never find a method more effective in getting through to another person than to make that person feel important.
Will Rogers
If you eliminate the names of Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, Jackson and Wilson, both conventions would get out three days earlier.
