More quotes by Will Rogers
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
Will Rogers
Say, this new home building idea of President Hoover's sounds good. They are working out a lot of beneficial things. The only thing is it took 'em so long to think of any of 'em. We ought to have plans in case of depression, just like we do in case of fire, 'Walk, don't run, to the nearest exit.'
Will Rogers
No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.
Will Rogers
Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.
Will Rogers

There is no more interesting place in the world to meet characters than a movie set.
Will Rogers
The small town is passing. It was the incubator that hatched all our big men, and that's why we haven't got as many big men today as we used to have. Take every small-town-raised leader out of business and you would have nobody left running it but vice-presidents.
Will Rogers
Farmers have more Associations, and Bureaus, and Clubs, than they have pitchforks.
Will Rogers
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
Our financial ills will never be settled till you fix it so every man will pay an income tax on what he earns, be it a farm, grocery store or municipal or government bonds.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.
Will Rogers
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there
Will Rogers
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Will Rogers
If you let women have their way, you will generally get even with them in the end.
Will Rogers
In Hollywood the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can't read. If they could read their stuff, they'd stop writing.
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
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
This would be a great world to dance in if we didn’t have to pay the fiddler.
