More quotes by 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
People are marvelous in their generosity, if they just know the cause is there.
Will Rogers
Show me a healthy community with a healthy economy and I will show you a community that has its green infrastructure in order and understands the relationship between the built and the unbuilt environment.
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
You can take any line of business and skill and the ones who do it the best are the ones who get the most money for it.
Will Rogers
This session of Congress is also to relieve the farmer again, relieve him of any encouragement that he might have received during the last one.
Will Rogers
Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will Rogers
America has the best politicians money can buy.
Will Rogers
Nobody wants his cause near as bad as he wants to talk about his cause.
Will Rogers
A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
There's a simple solution to our traffic problems. We'll have business build the roads, and government build the cars.
Will Rogers
I have Indian Blood in me. I have just enough white blood for you to question my honesty!
Will Rogers
The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it's in the way that it's spent.
Will Rogers
Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with public officials.
Will Rogers
Legalize racing in every State. Sure people will bet, but they get to see the horses run and you certain can't see General Motors and General Electric and General Utility run when you bet on them.
Will Rogers
Rail-splitting produced an immortal president in Lincoln, but golf hasn't produced even a good Congressman.
Will Rogers
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage.
Will Rogers
Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can't figure out.
Will Rogers
Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.
