Here are a few Will Rogers quotes:

  • The person with the best job in the country is the vice president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, How is the president?
  • This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
  • The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
  • The Income Tax has made more liars out of the American people than Golf has.
  • Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet.
  • I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
  • We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
  • When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident like. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.

Will Rogers was a famous cowboy known for his saying how he never met a man he didn't like.
