More quotes by Will Rogers
Ammunition beats persuasion when you are looking for freedom.
Will Rogers
There is one thing about Englishmen, they won't fix anything till it's just about totally ruined. You couldn't get the English to fix anything at the start. No! They like to sit and watch it grow worse. Then, when it just looks like the whole thing has gone up Salt Creek, why, the English jump in and rescue it.
Will Rogers
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Will Rogers
I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
A foreigner coming here and reading the Congressional Record would say that the President of the United States was elected solely for the purpose of giving Senators somebody to call a horse thief.
Will Rogers
There wasn't any more truth in over half of what any so-called orator said. If it wasn't a Deliberate Lie, why it was an Exaggerated Falsehood.

Spinnin' a rope is fun if your neck ain't in it
Will Rogers
The best thing about this group of candidates is that only one of them can win.
Will Rogers
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
Will Rogers
There is an awful lot of difference between reading something and actually seeing it, for you can never tell, till you see it, just how big a liar History is.
Will Rogers
I go too fast to see much, only the tops of everything. I've got to prowl slow some time through this country.
Will Rogers
It will take America fifteen years of steady taking care of our own business and letting everybody else's alone, to get us back to where everybody speaks to us again.
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
Shrewdness in public life all over the world is always honored, while honesty in public men is generally attributed to dumbness and is seldom rewarded.
Will Rogers
Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury.
Will Rogers
One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.
Will Rogers
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
Will Rogers
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there
Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
