More quotes by Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.
Will Rogers
There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
Will Rogers
America is the first country where people go to the poor house in their car.
Will Rogers
I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons.
Will Rogers
Cattlemen have lost more in the last few years than anybody and say less about it.
Will Rogers
We fed 'em Xmas and New Years now all the poor have to do is just fill the few meals until next Xmas
Will Rogers
We know lots of things we didn't use to know but we don't know any way to prevent 'em from happening.
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
Democrats always were a cheap lot. They never had much money to operate on.... They would rather make a speech than a dollar. They cultivate their voice instead of their finances.
Will Rogers
Some say, what is the Salvation of the Movies? I say, run 'em backwards. It can't hurt 'em and it's worth a trial.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help them back to bed again.
Will Rogers
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
Will Rogers
You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But, look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not.
Will Rogers
I make a living off (politicians), so I can't knock 'em. Every time we elect some fellow we think he's terrible and then when we get another one in he's worse. So, I am always in favor of keeping the one we've got and let the other go.
Will Rogers
That's what a Congressman or a Senator is for -- to see that too much money don't accumulate in the national Treasury.
Will Rogers
A man who dies without adequate life insurance should have to come back and see the mess he created.
Will Rogers
I like to hear a man talk about himself because then I never hear anything, but good.
Will Rogers
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?
Will Rogers
I have often said in answer to inquiries as to how I got away with kidding some of our public men, that it was because I liked all of them personally, and that if there was no malice in your heart there could be none in your Gags, and I have always said I never met a man I dident like.
Will Rogers
