Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.

More quotes by Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.
Will Rogers
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it's not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.
Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Will Rogers
You've never in your life seen a picture, I bet any one of you, never seen a picture of one of these old Pilgrims praying when they didn't have a gun right by the side of them. That was to see that he got what he was praying for.
Will Rogers
A man that don’t love a horse, there is something the matter with him.
Will Rogers
I love words but I don't like strange ones. You don't understand them and they don't understand you. Old words is like old friends, you know 'em the minute you see 'em.
Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.
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
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
Will Rogers
I'm not so much interested in the return ON my money as I am in the return OF my money.
Will Rogers
Spinnin' a rope is fun if your neck ain't in it
Will Rogers
You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.
Will Rogers
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
The only way to solve the traffic problems of the country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars are allowed to use the highways. That would make traffic so scarce, we could use our boulevards for children's playgrounds.
Will Rogers
Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr.
Will Rogers
Broad-minded is just another way of saying a fellow is too lazy to form an opinion.
Will Rogers
Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.
