More quotes by Will Rogers
Our whole Depression was brought on by gambling, not in the stock market alone but in expanding and borrowing and going in debt... all just to make some easy money quick.
Will Rogers
They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
Will Rogers
Common sense ain't common.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
Will Rogers
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Will Rogers
A fanatic is always the fellow that is on the opposite side.
Will Rogers
We do more talking progress than we do progressing.
Will Rogers
I never met a man that I didn't like.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.
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
In Europe public men do resign. But here it's a lost art. You have to impeach 'em.
Will Rogers
Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
Will Rogers
We have the best Congress that money can buy.
