More quotes by Will Rogers
Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due.
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
The only way to solve the traffic problems of the country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars are allowed to use the highways. That would make traffic so scarce, we could use our boulevards for children's playgrounds.
Will Rogers
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Now they got such a high inheritance tax on 'em that you won't catch these old rich boys dying promiscuously like they did. This bill makes patriots out of everybody. You sure do die for your country if you die from now on.
Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Will Rogers
There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. But he can't make a living for them and his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people
Will Rogers
So the question rises: How much liberty can you get away with? Well, you get no more liberty than you give!
Will Rogers
He [Calvin Coolidge] is the first president to discover that what the American people want is to be left alone.
Will Rogers
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
Will Rogers
There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you ain't a thing.
Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
Will Rogers
If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
Will Rogers
If the other fellow sells cheaper than you, it is called dumping. 'Course, if you sell cheaper than him, that's mass production.
Will Rogers
Never miss a chance to shut up
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
We may elevate ourselves but we should never reach so high that we would every forget those who helped us get there.
Will Rogers
A company is known by the people it keeps.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
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.
