Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb
Will Rogers
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?
Will Rogers
Lord, let me live until I die.
Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
Will Rogers
There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.
Will Rogers
One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.
