More quotes by Will Rogers
Take me ham away, take away my eggs, even my Chili, but leave me my newspaper.
Will Rogers
Texas is a great state. It's the 'Old Man River' of states. No matter who runs it or what happens to it politically, it just keeps rolling along!
Will Rogers
The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
Will Rogers
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
Will Rogers
We will never get anywhere with our finances till we pass a law saying...every time we appropriate something, we...pass another bill...stating where the money is coming from.
Will Rogers
With all our crime and all our immorality ... and about as much contentment and respose as a fresh-caged hyena, we go to tell the whole world: we are the only one with the right idea!
Will Rogers
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.
Will Rogers
It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, but you can lose it in a minute.
Will Rogers
It's great to be great, but its greater to be human.
Will Rogers
Our country has plenty of five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge fifteen cents for them.
Will Rogers
You got to do more than just live in the country to be a Farmer.
Will Rogers
Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic situation? We spent six years of wild buying on credit - everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not - and now we are having to pay for 'em, and we are howling like a pet coon.
Will Rogers
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.
Will Rogers
Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.
Will Rogers
I'm not a real movie star. I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.
Will Rogers
We are always saying: Let the Law take its Course but what we really mean is: Let the Law take OUR Course.
Will Rogers
If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?
Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else ... I was not a Child Prodigy, because a Child Prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.
Will Rogers
Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.
