More quotes by Will Rogers
The English should give Ireland home rule - and reserve the motion picture rights.
Will Rogers
It's one of the most progressive cities in the world. Shooting is only a sideline.
Will Rogers
We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it
Will Rogers
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
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
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
If you got a dollar, soak it away, put it in a savings bank, bury it, do anything but spend it. Spending when we didn't have it put us where we are today. Saving when we've got it will get us back to where we was before we went cuckoo.
Will Rogers
That's the trouble with our charities we are always saving somebody away off, when the fellow next to us ain't eating.
Will Rogers
When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from home, you've got to have been looking for it.
Will Rogers
A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.
Will Rogers
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.
Will Rogers
So the question rises: How much liberty can you get away with? Well, you get no more liberty than you give!
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails
Will Rogers
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
If everybody (traded his car for a horse) they would be out of debt in a couple of years. Just think, no gas, no tires, no roads to pay for.
Will Rogers
Both political parties have their good times and bad times, only they have them at different times.
Will Rogers
Coolidge is a better example of evolution than either Bryan or Darrow, for he knows when not to talk, which is the biggest asset the monkey possesses over the human.

In a real estate man's eye, the most expensive part of the city is where he has a house to sell
