Our financial ills will never be settled till you fix it so every man will pay an income tax on what he earns, be it a farm, grocery store or municipal or government bonds.
Quote by -Will Rogers
With old inflation riding the headlines, I have read till I am bleary-eyed, and I can't get head from tails of the whole thing. ... Now we are living in an age of explanations-and plenty of 'em, too-but no two things that's been done to us have been explained twice the same way, by even the same man. It's and age of in one ear and out the other.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I see by the papers that they are going to do away with all the nuisance taxes. That means that a man can get a marriage license for nothing.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The deer season just opened. A deer hunter in Ventura Country brought in his first man yesterday.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The man that found the 726-carat diamond in Africa, received $350,000 for it and wants to buy a farm and silk hat. Well, I can understand a man perhaps being eccentric enough to want to own a silk hat.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful horses in the parade and a man without a silver saddle is a vagrant.
Quote by -Will Rogers
We have plenty of Confidence in this country, but we are a little short of good men to place our Confidence in.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Quote by -Will Rogers
We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.
Quote by -Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Quote by -Will Rogers
In Europe public men do resign. But here it's a lost art. You have to impeach 'em.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.
Quote by -Will Rogers
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Will Rogers
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.
Quote by -Will Rogers
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
Quote by -Will Rogers
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
Quote by -Will Rogers
One of the evils of democracy is, you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Every time a woman leaves off something she looks better, but every time a man leaves off something he looks worse.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation. I never yet talked to the man who wanted to save time who could tell me what he was going to do with the time he saved.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can't buy enough to eat.
Quote by -Will Rogers
America already holds the record for freak movements. Now we have a new one. It's called "Restoring Confidence." Rich men who never had a mission in life outside of watching a stock ticker are working day and night "restoring confidence." Writers are working night shifts, speakers' tables are littered up, ministers are preaching statistics, all on "restoring confidence."
Quote by -Will Rogers
I am proud of the fact there is not a human being that I have got it in for. I never met a man I didn't like.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Nothing makes a man or body of men as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it they laugh it off.
Quote by -Will Rogers
That's one good thing about wars. It takes smarter men to figure out who loses 'em than it does to start 'em.
Quote by -Will Rogers
This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die. Prolonged life has ruined more men than it ever made.
