More quotes by Will Rogers
Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise what they would do if they got in. But the Republicans have to promise what they would do and then explain why they haven't already done it.
Will Rogers
I see a good deal of talk from Washington about lowering taxes-I hope they do get 'em lowered enough so people can afford to pay 'em
Will Rogers

Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
Will Rogers
What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The Democrats and the Republicans are equally corrupt where money is concerned. It's only in the amount where the Republicans excel.
Will Rogers
A liberal is a man who wants to use his own ideas on things in preference to generations who he knows know more than he does.
Will Rogers
There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
Will Rogers
See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
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
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers
