There will never be a time when the old horse is not superior to any auto ever made.
Will Rogers
Our country has plenty of five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge fifteen cents for them.
Will Rogers
Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man we never get to vote on what he is to do.
Will Rogers
Some guy invented Vitamin A out of a carrot. I'll bet he can't invent a good meal out of one.
Will Rogers
It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers
You can't tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
Will Rogers
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.
Will Rogers
That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.
Will Rogers
Every man is ignorant - just on different subjects.
Will Rogers
A country can get more real joy out of just hollering for their freedom than they can if they get it.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it
Will Rogers
It's almost worth the Great Depression to learn how little our big men know.
Will Rogers
I don't think you can make a lawyer honest by an act of legislature. You've got to work on his conscience. And his lack of conscience is what makes him a lawyer.
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
The president says, 'There is lots of people worse off than the Farmers.' I don't know who it could be unless it is the fellow who holds the Mortgages on the Farms.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
Will Rogers
One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.
Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
