More quotes by Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
Will Rogers
I bet any Sunday could be made as popular at church as Easter is if you made 'em fashion shows too. The audience is so busy looking at each other that the preacher just as well recite Gunga Din.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
... while the Republicans are smart enough to make money, the Democrats are smart enough to get in office every two or three times a century and take it away from 'em.
Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
The trip across Arizona is just one oasis after another. You can just throw anything out and it will grow there, I like Arizona.
Will Rogers
Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
Both political parties have their good times and bad times, only they have them at different times.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.
Will Rogers
