More quotes by Will Rogers
When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.
Will Rogers
When should a college athlete turn pro? Not until he has earned all he can in college as an amateur.
Will Rogers
There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
Will Rogers
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Will Rogers
We are always yapping about the 'Good Old Days' and how we look back and enjoy it, but I tell you there is a lot of hooey to it. There is a whole lot of all our past lives that wasn't so hot.
Will Rogers
About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The stock market has spoiled more appetites than bad cooking.
Will Rogers
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there
Will Rogers
They used to take your horse and if they were caught they got hung for it. Now they take your car, and if they are caught it's a miracle.
Will Rogers
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
People love high ideals, but they got to be about 33-percent plausible
Will Rogers
Work to make a living serve to make a life.
Will Rogers
If a thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But on a thousand acres of land you pay enough to support half the community who own no land and pay no taxes.
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do well, that's Memoirs.
Will Rogers
I don't know what humor is.
Will Rogers
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
