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

Will Rogers
Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.
Will Rogers
When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from home, you've got to have been looking for it.
Will Rogers
The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.
Will Rogers
There is two types of Larceny, Petty and Grand. They are supposed to be the same in the eyes of the law, but judges always put a little extra on you for Petty, which is kind of a fine for stupidness.
