More quotes by Will Rogers
I argue with wife over what little pieces of real estate investments we should try to pay on and hold, and which to let go back. We always said, Put it in land, and you can always walk on it. We did, but no buyers would walk on it with us.
Will Rogers
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Will Rogers
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Will Rogers
We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? You let a Politician return home from Washington and announce, 'Boys we lowered your taxes. We had to borrow the money to do it, but we did it.' Say, they would elect him for life.
Will Rogers
Horses raise what the farmer eats and eats what the farmer raises. You can't plow the ground and get gasoline.
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
There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I dont even have to exaggerate.
Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will Rogers
I see where they are going to be more strict with these robbers when they catch 'em from now on, they're going to publish their names.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
I don't think you can make a lawyer honest by an act of legislature. You've got to work on his conscience. And his lack of conscience is what makes him a lawyer.
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
Originality will be rewarded in any line.
Will Rogers
If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep.
Will Rogers
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
Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt.
Will Rogers
Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Will Rogers
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.
Will Rogers
Banking and after-dinner speaking are two of the most nonessential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform, if they are.
Will Rogers
If you want to be successful, love what you are doing.
Will Rogers
