More quotes by Will Rogers
I never met a man that I didn't like.
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
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Will Rogers
Farmers spend more time at Conventions than they do plowing.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers
We do more talking progress than we do progressing.

Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat! If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership.'
Will Rogers
Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt.
Will Rogers
A company is known by the people it keeps.
Will Rogers
There will never be a time when the old horse is not superior to any auto ever made.
Will Rogers
In all your life, you will never find a method more effective in getting through to another person than to make that person feel important.
Will Rogers
The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match.
Will Rogers
The bankers just got a good cussing by everybody for loaning too much money. Well, they got some awful nice buildings. So when a banker fails, he fails in splendor.
Will Rogers
In the Middle West now you got to put a brand on your soil, then in the Spring go on a round-up looking for it.
Will Rogers
Spinnin' a rope is fun if your neck ain't in it
Will Rogers
