More quotes by Will Rogers
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Will Rogers
We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are.
Will Rogers
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
Will Rogers
Don't just grab at the first thing that comes along. Know when to refuse something that won't get you anywhere
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
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
Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco.
Will Rogers
Live your life so that whenever you lose, you are ahead.
Will Rogers
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Will Rogers
We do more talking progress than we do progressing.
Will Rogers
Every day you meet a delegation going to some convention to try and change the way of somebody else's life.
Will Rogers
Well, the disarmament conference is off to a flying start. There is nothing to prevent their succeeding now but human nature.
Will Rogers
Believe in something for another world, but don't be too set on what it is, and then you won't start out that life with a disappontment. Live your life so that whenever you lose you are ahead.
Will Rogers
I'm not a member of an organized party. I'm a Democrat.
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
Rotation of crops and less automobiles will relieve the farmers whenever they decide to try it.
Will Rogers
I was born on Nov. 4, which is election day ... my birthday has made more men and sent more back to honest work than any other days in the year.
Will Rogers
The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war.
Will Rogers
You must never tell a thing. You must illustrate it. We learn through the eye and not the noggin.
Will Rogers
If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives.
Will Rogers
