More quotes by 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.

If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute and it'll change.
Will Rogers
A king can stand people's fighting but he can't last long if people start thinking.
Will Rogers
Golf is good for the soul. You get so mad at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
The budget is like a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, then reaches in and tries to pull real ones out.
Will Rogers
Farmers have about given up hope of getting farm relief and have decided to fertilize instead.
Will Rogers
Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
I argue with wife over what little pieces of real estate investments we should try to pay on and hold, and which to let go back. We always said, Put it in land, and you can always walk on it. We did, but no buyers would walk on it with us.
Will Rogers
