More quotes by Will Rogers
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers
I make a living off (politicians), so I can't knock 'em. Every time we elect some fellow we think he's terrible and then when we get another one in he's worse. So, I am always in favor of keeping the one we've got and let the other go.
Will Rogers
Americans are getting like a Ford car, they all have the same exact parts, the same upholstering and make exactly the same noises.
Will Rogers
If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
Will Rogers
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you.
Will Rogers
Statistics have proven that the surest way to get anything out of the public mind and never hear of it again is to have a Senate committee appointed to look into it.
Will Rogers
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game - it, and high taxes.
Will Rogers
You could transfer Congress over to run Standard Oil or General Motors, and they would have both things bankrupt in two years.
Will Rogers
I have Indian Blood in me. I have just enough white blood for you to question my honesty!
Will Rogers
When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
Will Rogers
We are sure living in a peculiar time. You get morefor not working than you will for working, and morefor not raising a hog than for raising it.
Will Rogers
The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer.
Will Rogers
We fed 'em Xmas and New Years now all the poor have to do is just fill the few meals until next Xmas
Will Rogers
Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.
Will Rogers
It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
Will Rogers
The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.
Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
Will Rogers
What's considered enough money? Just a little bit more.
Will Rogers
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
