The Democrats are going to change the name of the Hoover Dam. That is the silliest thing I ever heard of in politics . . . Lord if they feel that way about it, I don't see why they don't just reverse the two words.

More quotes by Will Rogers
A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.
Will Rogers
The small town is passing. It was the incubator that hatched all our big men, and that's why we haven't got as many big men today as we used to have. Take every small-town-raised leader out of business and you would have nobody left running it but vice-presidents.
Will Rogers
The theater is a great equalizer: it is the only place where the poor can look down on the rich.
Will Rogers
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
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
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
If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership.
Will Rogers
We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
Will Rogers
I'm not against (bull fighting). Some nations like to see blood, and some like to see their victims suffer from speculation... They kill the bull very quick. Wall Street lets you live and suffer.
Will Rogers
Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Will Rogers
A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
Will Rogers
They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
Will Rogers
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
Will Rogers
If you let women have their way, you will generally get even with them in the end.
Will Rogers
Show me a healthy community with a healthy economy and I will show you a community that has its green infrastructure in order and understands the relationship between the built and the unbuilt environment.
Will Rogers
Let advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn't have to advertise it.
Will Rogers
Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.
Will Rogers
There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you ain't a thing.
Will Rogers
Every guy looks in his pocket and then votes.
