More quotes by Will Rogers
America is the first country where people go to the poor house in their car.
Will Rogers
There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.
Will Rogers
It costs ten times more to govern us than it used to, and we are not governed one-tenth as good.
Will Rogers
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Will Rogers
Spinnin' a rope is fun if your neck ain't in it
Will Rogers
The man who never makes a mistake must get tired of doing nothing.
Will Rogers
The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.
Will Rogers
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
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
Polo, racing and horse shows all are doing great work to help the farmer and rancher to raise better horses.
Will Rogers
Farmers have about given up hope of getting farm relief and have decided to fertilize instead.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
We cuss Congress, and we joke about 'em, but they are all good fellows at heart, and if they wasn't in Congress, why, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worse.
Will Rogers
Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, 'Farmers, you are in a hole. I can't help you, but I will get in with you.' He did. That made it fine so the farmers were satisfied as long as Coolidge was going to get in with them.
Will Rogers
That's what a Congressman or a Senator is for -- to see that too much money don't accumulate in the national Treasury.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
Will Rogers
The government says they have loaned over One Billion dollars to the Farmers. In other words, we can't help you make any money, but we will show you where you can owe some more.
Will Rogers
If a bank fails in China, they behead the men at the top of it that was responsible... If we beheaded all of ours that were responsible for bank failures, we wouldn't have enough people left to bury the heads.
Will Rogers
