We are always yapping about the 'Good Old Days' and how we look back and enjoy it, but I tell you there is a lot of hooey to it. There is a whole lot of all our past lives that wasn't so hot.

More quotes by Will Rogers
You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers
Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful horses in the parade and a man without a silver saddle is a vagrant.
Will Rogers
You must judge a man's greatness by how much he will be missed.
Will Rogers
Both gangs have been bad sports, so see if at least one can't redeem themselves by offering no alibis, but cooperate with the winner, for no matter which one it is the poor fellow is going to need it.
Will Rogers
I'm not a member of an organized party. I'm a Democrat.
Will Rogers
Don't invite me if you don't want me.
Will Rogers
This session of Congress is also to relieve the farmer again, relieve him of any encouragement that he might have received during the last one.
Will Rogers
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Will Rogers
Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.
Will Rogers
You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
Will Rogers
Every Harvard class should have one Democrat to rescue it from oblivion.
Will Rogers
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
Will Rogers
My forefathers didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.
Will Rogers
Of course nothing is ever done about a [presidential] commission report, except, they say, once a man at the state prison for the criminally insane actually read one once clear through. Then he did something about it. He made a bonfire that lasted a week.
Will Rogers
It looks like the financial giants of the world have bungled as much as the diplomats and politicians. This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something.
Will Rogers
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
Will Rogers
