Will Rogers
I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.
Will Rogers
Take me ham away, take away my eggs, even my Chili, but leave me my newspaper.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
If all politicians fished instead of spoke publicly, we would be at peace with the world.
Will Rogers
I don't think either one of them knows what it's all about, to be honest with you. Both sides are doing nothing but just looking towards the next election.
Will Rogers
I'm not a member of an organized party. I'm a Democrat.
Will Rogers
We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers
It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, but you can lose it in a minute.
