More quotes by Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
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
Rotation of crops and less automobiles will relieve the farmers whenever they decide to try it.
Will Rogers
Live your life so that whenever you lose, you are ahead.
Will Rogers
A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.
Will Rogers
Real estate is the best investment in the world because it is the only thing they're not making any more.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.

I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his money.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers
I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.
Will Rogers
The United States investigates everything - usually after it's dead.
Will Rogers
You can have all the advanced war methods you want, but, after all, nobody has ever invented a war that you don't have to have somebody in the guise of soldiers to stop the bullets.
Will Rogers
There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.
Will Rogers
Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful horses in the parade and a man without a silver saddle is a vagrant.
Will Rogers
Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.
Will Rogers
There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
Will Rogers
Andrew Jackson was the first one to think up the idea to promise everybody that if they will vote for you, you will give them an office when you get it, and the more times they vote for you, the bigger the office.
Will Rogers
We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it
