Will Rogers
Plans get you into things, but you got to work your way out.
Will Rogers
All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.
Will Rogers
They call it the Latin Quarter because nobody there is Latin and nobody has a quarter.
Will Rogers
If you want to know how a man stands, go among the people who are in his same business.

We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, 'Farmers, you are in a hole. I can't help you, but I will get in with you.' He did. That made it fine so the farmers were satisfied as long as Coolidge was going to get in with them.
