More quotes by Will Rogers
A king can stand people's fighting but he can't last long if people start thinking.
Will Rogers
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.
Will Rogers
And if you call one a real estate agent and he won't sell you anything. He is a REALATOR. It's the same as what the old fashioned real estate agent used to be only the commission is different.
Will Rogers
When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
Every Gag I tell must be based on truth. No matter how much I may exaggerate it, it must have a certain amount of Truth.... Now Rumor travels Faster, but it don't stay put as long as Truth.
Will Rogers
It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
Will Rogers
No man is great if he thinks he is.
Will Rogers
The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.
Will Rogers
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
Will Rogers
I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling then the world will have peace.
Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
Will Rogers
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.
Will Rogers
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
