Quote

It would drive a person crazy to dope out really what does divide the two parties. Prosperity don't divide the two parties, for under either administration the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

When you're through learning, you're through.
Will Rogers

Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.

Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Will Rogers

People want just taxes more than they want lower taxes. They want to know that every man is paying his proportionate share according to his wealth.

What's the matter with the world? Why, there ain't nothing but one word wrong with everyone of us, and that's selfishness.

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.

It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.

If everybody (traded his car for a horse) they would be out of debt in a couple of years. Just think, no gas, no tires, no roads to pay for.

It rained in the Middle West. Farmers are learning that the relief they get from the sky beats what they get from Washington.

Congress knew Coolidge would veto the farm bill. There was more politics than relief in that bill.
Will Rogers
Image
The Supreme Court is divided almost in half on the decisions. Talk about an international court. How would we ever agree with a lot of foreigners when we can't even agree among our own judges?
Will Rogers
Image
Of course nothing is ever done about a [presidential] commission report, except, they say, once a man at the state prison for the criminally insane actually read one once clear through. Then he did something about it. He made a bonfire that lasted a week.

The only thing that can stop hair from falling ... is the floor.

Politicians are dumb, but they can count to 50% plus one.

Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.

There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.

The whole trouble with the Republicans is their fear of an increase in income tax, especially on higher incomes. They speak of it almost like a national calamity. I really believe if it come to a vote whether to go to war with England, France and Germany combined, or raise the rate on incomes of over $100,000, they would vote war.
