Will Rogers

We are the only nation in the world that waits till we get into a war before we start getting ready for it.

Will Rogers

We cuss the lawmakers. But I notice we’re always perfectly willing to share in any of the sums of money that they might distribute.

Will Rogers

We don’t give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give ’em plenty of publicity.

Will Rogers

We don’t know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it.

Will Rogers

We don’t have to worry about anything. No nation in the history of the world was ever sitting as pretty. If we want anything, all we have to do is go and buy it on credit.

Will Rogers

We don’t seem to be able to even check crime. Why not legalize it and put a heavy tax on it. Make the tax for robbery so high that a bandit couldn’t afford to rob anyone unless he had a lot of dough. We have taxed other industries out of business, it might work here.

Will Rogers

We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring ’em to make good.

Will Rogers

We have been just going like a house afire, and we couldent see any reason why we shouldent keep right on burning. Our tastes were acquired on credit, and we wanted to keep on enjoying ’em on credit.

Will Rogers

We have it on the best of our information that taxes will be relieved, but not until after your death.

Will Rogers

We have killed more people celebrating our independence than we lost fighting for it. We would celebrate the ending of each of our wars but we haven’t got enough people to go around.
