Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.

Will Rogers
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Buy land. They ain't making any more of the stuff.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Will Rogers
Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers

Will Rogers
It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
Will Rogers
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
