Common sense is not an issue in politics--it's an affliction.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Real estate is the best investment in the world because it is the only thing they're not making any more.
Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.
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
If you want to be successful, love what you are doing.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
One of the evils of democracy is, you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not.

Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
Will Rogers
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
These dust storms.... Poor farmer spent a lifetime fixin' his farm and everything, goes out and looks down at it, and it's up above him.
Will Rogers
I have always noticed that people will never laugh at anything that is not based on truth.
Will Rogers
The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.
Will Rogers
If you let women have their way, you will generally get even with them in the end.
Will Rogers
A politician is just like a pickpocket it's almost impossible to get him to reform.
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 almost worth the Great Depression to learn how little our big men know.
Will Rogers
The English should give Ireland home rule - and reserve the motion picture rights.
Will Rogers
If you got a dollar, soak it away, put it in a savings bank, bury it, do anything but spend it. Spending when we didn't have it put us where we are today. Saving when we've got it will get us back to where we was before we went cuckoo.
Will Rogers
We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.
Will Rogers
