The minute a thing is long and complicated, it confuses. Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made 'em short. They may not always be kept, but they are understood.

There is nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating
Will Rogers
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that the Democrat is a cannibal, they live off each other, while the Republicans live off the Democrats.
Will Rogers
Asking Europe to disarm is like asking a man in Chicago to give up his life insurance.
Will Rogers
And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.
Will Rogers
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.
Will Rogers
With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke.
Will Rogers
I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.
Will Rogers
It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
Will Rogers
Mona Lisa is the only beauty who went through history and retained her reputation.
Will Rogers
If you are trying to get out of the hole, stop digging.
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
All I know is just what I read in the Congressional Record. They have had some awful funny articles in there lately. As our government deteriorates, our humor increases.
Will Rogers
What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.
Will Rogers
I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.
Will Rogers
Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.
Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
Will Rogers
America has the best politicians money can buy.
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
I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody a chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it.
