Congress is going to start tinkering with the Ten Commandments just as soon as they find someone in Washington who has read them.

Will Rogers

Congress knew Coolidge would veto the farm bill. There was more politics than relief in that bill.

Will Rogers

Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they’re doing. Amen.

Will Rogers

Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, ‘Farmers, you are in a hole. I can’t help you, but I will get in with you.’ He did. That made it fine so the farmers were satisfied as long as Coolidge was going to get in with them.

Will Rogers

Course, that’s the trouble with politics, it breeds politics! So that makes it pretty hard to stamp out.

Will Rogers

Death knows no denomination. Death draws no color line.

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

Democrats never agree on anything, that’s why they’re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.

Will Rogers

Democrats take the whole thing as a joke. Republicans take it serious but run it like a joke.

Will Rogers

Democrats, you can’t shame them into even dying. They would keep on living just to spite the Republicans.
