Diplomacy is the art of saying “nice doggie” until you can find a rock.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

Page 6: Wisdom of Will Rogers

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

Page 7: Wisdom of Will Rogers

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.

The man 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?”

One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.

Page 19: Wisdom of Will Rogers

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him…… The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Page 20: Wisdom of Will Rogers

There’s two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.
