Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.

More quotes by Will Rogers
Do anything in this world but monkey with somebody eles's religion. What reasoning of conceit makes anyone think theirs is right?
Will Rogers
The English should give Ireland home rule - and reserve the motion picture rights.
Will Rogers
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
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
The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer.
Will Rogers
When you have helped to raise the standard of cooking, you have helped to raise the only thing in the world that really matters. We only have one or two wars in a lifetime, but we have three meals a day -- there's nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating.
Will Rogers
George Bernard Shaw of England stopped over just long enough to make one speech in Bombay, India, started a war and 100 Indians killed each other. That's what I call good speech-making. The only enthusiasm any of our speakers can rouse is a demand to kill the speaker.
Will Rogers
The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody that is sober enough to stagger to the polls will.
Will Rogers
Will somebody please tell me what they do with all the Vice-Presidents a bank has? Why the United States is the biggest business institution in the world, and they got only one Vice-President and nobody has ever found anything for him to do.
Will Rogers
A fool and his money are soon elected.
Will Rogers
The farmers can be thankful. Didn't the Farm Board decide in Washington last week that they could have cheaper interest? All the farmers have to do now is to find something new to put up as security.
Will Rogers
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
Will Rogers
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
Will Rogers
Noah must have taken into the Ark two taxes, one male and one female. And did they multiply bountifully! Next to guinea pigs, taxes must have been the most prolific animals
Will Rogers
Every day you meet a delegation going to some convention to try and change the way of somebody else's life.
Will Rogers
Course, that's the trouble with politics, it breeds politics! So that makes it pretty hard to stamp out.
Will Rogers
Old Hollywood is just like a desert water in Africa. Hang around long enough and every kind of animal in the world will drift in for refreshments.
Will Rogers
Samuel Gompers has spent his life trying to keep labor from working too hard and has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.
Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
