Let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help them back to bed again.

Country, Wall, Bed

Will Rogers, Bryan B. Sterling, Frances N. Sterling (1993). “Will Rogers' World: America's Foremost Political Humorist Comments on the Twenties and Thirties--and Eighties and Nineties”, p.165, Rowman & Littlefield

I know things are going to get better in spite of both sides. Then when things do get better, then you'll hear the yell that will go up. The Democrats will swear that recovery was due to them. Now the Republicans, they'll say it was due to them. Nobody wanted to claim the credit for the country blowing up, but wait until it starts picking up and they'll both be on it then. See?

Country, Recovery, Waiting

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.

Country, Men, Politics

Will Rogers (1981). “Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Coolidge Years, 1927-1929”

Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.

Country, Space, Worry

The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. Any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice. Why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. But you let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.

Country, Wall, Fall

The only way to solve the traffic problems of the country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars are allowed to use the highways. That would make traffic so scarce, we could use our boulevards for children's playgrounds.

Country, Children, Law

You got to do more than just live in the country to be a Farmer.

Country, Agriculture, Just Live

Will Rogers (1977). “Letters of a self-made diplomat to his President”, Will Rogers Heritage Trust

If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled

Country, Work, Would Be

Now they got such a high inheritance tax on 'em that you won't catch these old rich boys dying promiscuously like they did. This bill makes patriots out of everybody. You sure do die for your country if you die from now on.

Country, Boys, Dying

Will Rogers (1955). “Sanity is where you find it: an affectionate history of the United States in the 20's and 30's”

I haven't seen a tractor working all day. The country has gone sane and got back to horses. Farmers all look worse, but they feel better.

Country, Horse, Feel Better

I go too fast to see much, only the tops of everything. I've got to prowl slow some time through this country.

Country, Business

Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where "confidence" is. And just who you want it restored to.

Country, Business, Ideas

Will Rogers (1978). “Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Coolidge years, 1926-1929”, Will Rogers Heritage Trust

I am telling folks that the Country as a whole is "Sound," and that all those who's heads are solid are bound to get back into the market again. I tell 'em that this Country is bigger than Wall Street, and if they don't believe it, I show 'em the map.

Country, Wall, Business

The country has gone sane and got back to horses.

Country, Horse, Gone

It wasn't what we needed then that was hurting us, it was what we was paying for that we had already used up. The country was just buying gasoline for a leaky tank. Everything was going into a gopher hole and you couldent see where you was going to get any of it back.

Country, Hurt, Business

Banking and after-dinner speaking are two of the most nonessential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform, if they are.

Country, Two, Reform

Will Rogers, Bryan B. Sterling (1995). “Will Rogers Speaks: Over 1,000 Timeless Quotations for Public Speakers (writers, Politicians, Comedians, Browsers ...)”, M Evans & Company

I am just an old country boy in a big town trying to get along. I have been eating pretty regular and the reason I have been is because I have stayed an old country boy.

Funny, Country, Humor

Will Rogers (1980). “Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Harding”

Any person that don't read at least one well-written country newspaper is not truly informed.

Country, Newspapers, Wells

Will Rogers (1979). “Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Hoover years, 1931-1933”, Will Rogers Heritage Trust

There is two things that can disrupt business in this country. One is War, and the other is a meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Country, War, Two

Will Rogers, Bryan B. Sterling (1995). “Will Rogers Speaks: Over 1,000 Timeless Quotations for Public Speakers (writers, Politicians, Comedians, Browsers ...)”, M Evans & Company

Land taxes is the thing. They got so high that there is no chance to make anything. Not only land but all property tax. You see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. Well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. They never ask if the land makes anything. "It's land ain't it? Well tax it then."

Running, Country, Real

Will Rogers used to say he wouldn't run for president no matter how badly the country needed a comedian.

Running, Country, Comedian
