Will Rogers
I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with.
Will Rogers
We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.

Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
Will Rogers
There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.
Will Rogers
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Will Rogers
No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.
