More quotes by Will Rogers
That's the trouble with a politician's life-somebody is always interrupting it with an election.
Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers
There is no argument in the world that carries the hatred that a relioious belief does. The more learned a man is, the less consideration he has for another man's belief.
Will Rogers
Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury.

Will Rogers
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.
Will Rogers
If any of us had a child that we thought was as bad as we know we are, we would have cause to start to worry.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
We know lots of things we didn't use to know but we don't know any way to prevent 'em from happening.
Will Rogers
You can take any line of business and skill and the ones who do it the best are the ones who get the most money for it.
Will Rogers
I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.
Will Rogers
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Will Rogers
There are men running governments who shouldn't be allowed to play with matches.
Will Rogers
In Europe public men do resign. But here it's a lost art. You have to impeach 'em.
Will Rogers
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game - it, and high taxes.
Will Rogers
Parades should be classed as a nuisance and participants should be subject to a term in prison.
Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
