More quotes by Will Rogers
Syntax must be bad, having sin and tax in it.
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
You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.
Will Rogers
There is a horse here-the furthest north of any horse, and he eats fish and travels on snowshoes.
Will Rogers
In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.
Will Rogers
The US is safest when Congress is in recess.
Will Rogers
If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.
Will Rogers
Lobbyists have more offices in Washington than the President. You see, the President only tells Congress what they should do. Lobbyists tell'em what they will do.
Will Rogers
The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.
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
If you ever injected truth into politics you would have no politics.
Will Rogers
A king can stand people's fighting but he can't last long if people start thinking.
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
I belong to no organized political body. I am a Democrat.
Will Rogers
Both gangs have been bad sports, so see if at least one can't redeem themselves by offering no alibis, but cooperate with the winner, for no matter which one it is the poor fellow is going to need it.
Will Rogers
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?
Will Rogers
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation. I never yet talked to the man who wanted to save time who could tell me what he was going to do with the time he saved.
Will Rogers
Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful horses in the parade and a man without a silver saddle is a vagrant.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.
Will Rogers
