Will Rogers
Image
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Image
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.

Will Rogers
Image
I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
Image
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
Image
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
Image
If a thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But on a thousand acres of land you pay enough to support half the community who own no land and pay no taxes.
