More quotes by Will Rogers
Conferences are just like the poor and the Democrats, they will always be with us.
Will Rogers
The high income tax come pretty near passing in the Senate. Only lacked about six votes. So it won't be long now. Well, there is millions and millions that are not making it, that would be glad to give up 99 per cent if you would let 'em earn a hundred thousand or more.
Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Will Rogers
We may elevate ourselves but we should never reach so high that we would every forget those who helped us get there.

With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
Will Rogers

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
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
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
What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.
Will Rogers
My own mother died when I was 10 years old. My folks have told me that what little humor I have comes from her. I can't remember her humor, but I can remember her love and understanding of me.
Will Rogers
We are all ignorant. We are just ignorant about different things.
Will Rogers
Just because it's common sense, doesn't mean it's common practice.
Will Rogers
There is some talk of lowering (the income tax), and they will have to. People are not making enough to pay it.
Will Rogers
Americans will feed anyone that's not close to them.
