There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking.
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
I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.

If you are trying to get out of the hole, stop digging.
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

Will Rogers
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
Will Rogers
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game - it, and high taxes.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else.
Will Rogers
I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.
Will Rogers
