There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.
Will Rogers
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
Will Rogers
Bankers are likeable rascals. Now that we are all wise to 'em, it's been shown that they don't know any more about finances than the rest of us know about our businesses... which has proved to be nothing.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Will Rogers
There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.
Will Rogers
The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.
Will Rogers
In the Middle West now you got to put a brand on your soil, then in the Spring go on a round-up looking for it.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
One thing I will say about the Germans, they are always perfectly willing to give somebody's land to somebody else
Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
Will Rogers
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
Will Rogers
Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.
Will Rogers
Lobbyists have more offices in Washington than the President. You see, the President only tells Congress what they should do. Lobbyists tell'em what they will do.
Will Rogers
America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to a select few.
Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.
Will Rogers
Don't raise anything, except what fits your appetite. Then the price don't worry you. Just raise all you can eat and let the low prices go by.
Will Rogers
Many a politician wishes there was a law to burn old records.
