Here are several **verified quotes of wisdom** from **Will Rogers** (1879–1935), the American humorist, actor, and social commentator known for his sharp yet kind observations about life, politics, and human nature:
—
**1.**
“Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.”
**Meaning:** Focus on the present. Regret and nostalgia drain the energy you need for what’s in front of you.
—
**2.**
“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”
**Meaning:** Progress requires movement. Being right isn’t enough—you have to act.
—
**3.**
“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”
**Meaning:** Wisdom is built through mistakes. We learn best from our own failures.
—
**4.**
“Live in such a way that you wouldn’t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.”
**Meaning:** Integrity means living a life so honest and decent that even your private moments reflect your values.
—
**5.**
“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.”
**Meaning:** A timeless warning against consumerism and living for others’ approval.
—
**6.**
“There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
**Meaning:** People learn in different ways—but some insist on learning only through painful personal experience.

Would you like me to adapt these into your **“Ledord / Tanke / Meaning”** format in Swedish, as you usually do for your reflections?
