More quotes by Will Rogers
A Republican moves slowly. They are what we call conservatives. A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't always have plenty of money. A Democrat is a fellow who never had any, but doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't have some.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, love what you are doing.
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

Will Rogers
Don't wait to buy land, Buy land and wait. Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there.
Will Rogers
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
Will Rogers
I am a great believer in high-priced people. If a thing cost a lot it may not be any better, but it adds a certain amount of class that the cheap thing can never approach in the long run it's the higher-priced things that are the cheapest.
Will Rogers
I am proud of the fact there is not a human being that I have got it in for. I never met a man I didn't like.
Will Rogers
Samuel Gompers has spent his life trying to keep labor from working too hard and has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious.
Will Rogers
There is nothing fairer than workmen having unions of their mutual benefit.
Will Rogers
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
