Will Rogers
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
Will Rogers
Both political parties have their good times and bad times, only they have them at different times.
Will Rogers
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
Will Rogers
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Will Rogers
Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.
Will Rogers
A conference is just an admission that you want somebody to join you in your troubles.
