More quotes by Will Rogers
A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know him. He has made more history than his critics ever read.
Will Rogers
Never miss a chance to shut up
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
Will Rogers
Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers.
Will Rogers
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
You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.
Will Rogers
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Will Rogers
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.
Will Rogers
This would be a great world to dance in if we didn’t have to pay the fiddler.
Will Rogers
Lord, let me live until I die.
Will Rogers
I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened.
Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
Will Rogers
Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But it isn't necessary.
Will Rogers
There is something about a Republican that you can only stand him just so long and on the other hand, there is something about a Democrat that you can't stand him quite that long.
Will Rogers
You see, in Washington they have these bodies, Senate and the House of Representatives. That is for the convenience of the visitors. If there is nothing funny happening in one, there is sure to be in the other, and in case one body passes a good bill, why, the other can see it in time and kill it.
Will Rogers
Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.
Will Rogers
I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
