More quotes by Will Rogers
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
Congress is deadlocked and can’t act.
Will Rogers
A conference is just an admission that you want somebody to join you in your troubles.
Will Rogers
Wine had such ill effects on Noah's health that it was all he could do to live 950 years. Show me a total abstainer that ever lived that long.
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
Steak on the plate went up. Steak on the hoof went down.
Will Rogers
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
Will Rogers
The small town is passing. It was the incubator that hatched all our big men, and that's why we haven't got as many big men today as we used to have. Take every small-town-raised leader out of business and you would have nobody left running it but vice-presidents.
Will Rogers
A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
When ignorance gets started it knows no bounds.
Will Rogers
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
You shake a slogan at an American and it's just like showing a hungry dog a bone.
Will Rogers
Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.
Will Rogers
Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious.
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
See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.
Will Rogers
With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
Will Rogers
It rained in the Middle West. Farmers are learning that the relief they get from the sky beats what they get from Washington.
Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
Will Rogers
