More quotes by Will Rogers
Fanatical religion driven to a certain point is almost as bad as none at all, but not quite.
Will Rogers
If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.
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
There wasn't any more truth in over half of what any so-called orator said. If it wasn't a Deliberate Lie, why it was an Exaggerated Falsehood.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
Will Rogers
Well, the disarmament conference is off to a flying start. There is nothing to prevent their succeeding now but human nature.
Will Rogers
This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
Conferences are just like the poor and the Democrats, they will always be with us.
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
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
Will Rogers used to say he wouldn't run for president no matter how badly the country needed a comedian.
Will Rogers
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.
Will Rogers
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?
Will Rogers
The small town is passing. It was the incubator that hatched all our big men, and that's why we haven't got as many big men today as we used to have. Take every small-town-raised leader out of business and you would have nobody left running it but vice-presidents.
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
I have always claimed Americans didn't want a drink as bad as they wanted the right to take a drink if they did happen to want one.
Will Rogers
Do anything in this world but monkey with somebody eles's religion. What reasoning of conceit makes anyone think theirs is right?
Will Rogers
This stuff they are talking here in Congress costs the people of the United States $44 a page. That's beside what it costs to ship it to the asylums where it's read.
