Will Rogers

Will Rogers
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Will Rogers
Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?
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
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
You've never in your life seen a picture, I bet any one of you, never seen a picture of one of these old Pilgrims praying when they didn't have a gun right by the side of them. That was to see that he got what he was praying for.
Will Rogers
There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
Will Rogers
There is nothing fairer than workmen having unions of their mutual benefit.
Will Rogers
We are here just for a spell and then pass on. So get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose it, you are ahead.
Will Rogers
