Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
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
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.
Will Rogers
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
Will Rogers
There is two types of Larceny, Petty and Grand. They are supposed to be the same in the eyes of the law, but judges always put a little extra on you for Petty, which is kind of a fine for stupidness.
Will Rogers
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
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
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
Where I come from, they won't let me play with this rope. They think I might hurt myself.
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
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Will Rogers
There are men running governments who shouldn't be allowed to play with matches.
Will Rogers
The government says they have loaned over One Billion dollars to the Farmers. In other words, we can't help you make any money, but we will show you where you can owe some more.
Will Rogers
There ain't nothing that breaks up homes, country and nations like somebody publishing their memoirs
Will Rogers
Here is my Farm Relief bill: Every time a Southerner plants nothing on his farm but cotton year after year, and the Northerner nothing but wheat or corn, why, take a hammer and hit him twice right between the eyes. You may dent your hammer, but it will do more real good than all the bills you can pass in a year.
Will Rogers
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.
Will Rogers
The only thing that can stop hair from falling ... is the floor.
