People want just taxes more than they want lower taxes. They want to know that every man is paying his proportionate share according to his wealth.

More quotes by Will Rogers
If you ever injected truth into politics you would have no politics.
Will Rogers
Politics is the best show in America. I love animals and I love politicians, and I like to watch both of 'em at play, either back home in their native state, or after they've been captured and sent to a zoo, or to Washington.
Will Rogers
Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.
Will Rogers
There's no way in the world you're going to make a political party respectable unless you keep it out of office.
Will Rogers
My forefathers didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.
Will Rogers
The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it's in the way that it's spent.
Will Rogers
A woman can make a man feel older or younger than his years if she so chooses. Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. Women were made with a sense of humor so they could love men instead of laughing at them.
Will Rogers
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
Every land or property owner in America would be tickled to death to pay 45 per cent of his profits, if he didn't have to pay anything if he didn't make it.
Will Rogers
You can't legislate intelligence and common sense into people.
Will Rogers
Let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help them back to bed again.
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
Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.
Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, it's just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.
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
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Will Rogers
We live in an age of 'urge'. We do nothing till somebody shoves us.
Will Rogers
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Will Rogers
It looks like the financial giants of the world have bungled as much as the diplomats and politicians. This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something.
Will Rogers
On prohibiting anybody from learning anything: Why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will Rogers
