More quotes by Will Rogers
I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.
Will Rogers
I would never make a good economist. You know, an economist is a man that can tell you anything about — well, he will tell you what can happen under any given condition — and his guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's, too.
Will Rogers
The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
There is nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating

Will Rogers
People are marvelous in their generosity, if they just know the cause is there.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.
Will Rogers
Nothing you can't spell will ever work.
Will Rogers
You must judge a man's greatness by how much he will be missed.
Will Rogers
I was born on Nov. 4, which is election day ... my birthday has made more men and sent more back to honest work than any other days in the year.
Will Rogers
Congress is deadlocked and can’t act.
Will Rogers
Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.
Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
Will Rogers
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
Will Rogers
I haven't seen a tractor working all day. The country has gone sane and got back to horses. Farmers all look worse, but they feel better.
Will Rogers
