More quotes by Will Rogers
Sometimes people deserve a high five, in the face, with a chair.
Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
And kid Congress and the Senate, dont scold em. They are just children thats never grown up. They dont like to be corrected in company. Dont send messages to em, send candy.
Will Rogers
This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die.

Will Rogers

I am a great believer in high-priced people. If a thing cost a lot it may not be any better, but it adds a certain amount of class that the cheap thing can never approach in the long run it's the higher-priced things that are the cheapest.
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
I am proud of the fact there is not a human being that I have got it in for. I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
There is an awful lot of difference between reading something and actually seeing it, for you can never tell, till you see it, just how big a liar History is.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
We do more talking progress than we do progressing.
Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.
Will Rogers
I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his money.
Will Rogers
