A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.

More quotes by 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
A politician is just like a pickpocket it's almost impossible to get him to reform.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
Harvard students have completed more English courses and less forward passes than any school in this generation.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.
Will Rogers
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
Will Rogers
You know you've got to exercise your brain just like your muscles.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
The farmers can be thankful. Didn't the Farm Board decide in Washington last week that they could have cheaper interest? All the farmers have to do now is to find something new to put up as security.
Will Rogers
Every Harvard class should have one Democrat to rescue it from oblivion.
Will Rogers
If you let women have their way, you will generally get even with them in the end.
Will Rogers
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
Will Rogers
It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.
Will Rogers
