More quotes by Will Rogers
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
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
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Will Rogers
More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
Will Rogers
You shake a slogan at an American and it's just like showing a hungry dog a bone.
Will Rogers
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.
Will Rogers
Say, this new home building idea of President Hoover's sounds good. They are working out a lot of beneficial things. The only thing is it took 'em so long to think of any of 'em. We ought to have plans in case of depression, just like we do in case of fire, 'Walk, don't run, to the nearest exit.'
Will Rogers
We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.
Will Rogers
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
Will Rogers
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
Will Rogers
The way to make money in the stock market is to buy a stock. Then, when it goes up, sell it. If it's not going to go up, don't buy it!
Will Rogers
The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.
Will Rogers
Local conservation programs can help our communities shape thoughtful growth.
Will Rogers
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
Will Rogers
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Will Rogers
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
Will Rogers
Let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help them back to bed again.
Will Rogers
