Believe in something for another world, but don't be too set on what it is, and then you won't start out that life with a disappontment. Live your life so that whenever you lose you are ahead.

More quotes by Will Rogers
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Will Rogers
A Realtor is an old fashioned Real Estate man with a neck tie. A Real Estate man sold you what you wanted, a Realtor sells you what you don't need. A Real Estate man showed you what you could raise on the land, a Realtor tells you what you can build on it.
Will Rogers
It's the fellow who knows when to quit that the audience wants more of.
Will Rogers
Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will Rogers
Lord, let me live until I die.
Will Rogers
Don't invite me if you don't want me.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
Will Rogers
If any of us had a child that we thought was as bad as we know we are, we would have cause to start to worry.
Will Rogers
Every land or property owner in America would be tickled to death to pay 45 per cent of his profits, if he didn't have to pay anything if he didn't make it.
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
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 rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the President has to tell 'em.
Will Rogers
The deer season just opened. A deer hunter in Ventura Country brought in his first man yesterday.
Will Rogers
People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument.
Will Rogers
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that the Democrat is a cannibal, they live off each other, while the Republicans live off the Democrats.
Will Rogers
When everybody has got money they cut taxes, and when they're broke they raise them. That's statesmanship of the highest order.
Will Rogers
People that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
Will Rogers
I don't know how a lot of these nations existed as long as they have till we could get some of our people around and show 'em how to be good and pure like us.
Will Rogers
With old inflation riding the headlines, I have read till I am bleary-eyed, and I can't get head from tails of the whole thing. ... Now we are living in an age of explanations-and plenty of 'em, too-but no two things that's been done to us have been explained twice the same way, by even the same man. It's and age of in one ear and out the other.
