More quotes by Will Rogers
Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton originated the put and take system in our national treasury: the taxpayers put it in, and the politicians take it out
Will Rogers
We are here just for a spell and then pass on. So get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose it, you are ahead.
Will Rogers
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
Will Rogers
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Will Rogers
Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.
Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the Congressional Record. They have had some awful funny articles in there lately. As our government deteriorates, our humor increases.
Will Rogers
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
Will Rogers
A Republican moves slowly. They are what we call conservatives. A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't always have plenty of money. A Democrat is a fellow who never had any, but doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't have some.
Will Rogers
Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?
Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
When you figure it right down, none of us are in a really essential business but the farmer, and he raises so much that even his business is partly non-essential.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
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
So the question rises: How much liberty can you get away with? Well, you get no more liberty than you give!
Will Rogers
Any person that don't read at least one well-written country newspaper is not truly informed.
Will Rogers
When everybody has got money they cut taxes, and when they're broke they raise them. That's statesmanship of the highest order.
Will Rogers
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Will Rogers
