Will Rogers
In politics practically everything you hear is scandal, and besides, the funny thing is that the things they are whispering ain't half has bad as the things they have been saying right out loud.
Will Rogers
If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.

Parades should be classed as a Nuisance and participants should be subject to a term in prison. They stop more work, inconvenience more people, stop more traffic, cause more accidents, entail more expense, and commit and cause I don't remember the other hundred misdemeanors.

Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.

The Ways & Means Committee is a committee that's supposed to find the Ways to divide up the Means.
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
Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
Will Rogers
When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
Will Rogers
A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.
Will Rogers
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.
