Will Rogers Quotes

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.

I have no time for the endless nostalgia: 'Oh gosh I used to ... ' Life is too short; I don't have any time for sitting and saying I miss things. What's the point? Go and do something else.

If I had let myself off the hook in college, I could have enjoyed myself a lot more. Knowing that I can't have those years back, I have learned to get the most out of living in the now.

Talk when you talk, walk when you walk, and die when you die.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

There's no future in spending our present worrying about our past.

There's no time for regrets. You've just got to keep moving forward.

If I keep thinking about yesterday, tomorrow might never come.

Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.

The only thing we can control is what we do in the present. The more we replay yesterday, the further we get from today's opportunities. And the further away we move from opportunities, the tougher the road is to get back. Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going, and they wait for no one. We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.

Don't live in the past. There's no point. You can't change anything. What a waste of time.

I'm not someone who dwells upon past events, taking the view that life is too short.

Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues.

I'm not someone who lives in the past; I find other people live in my past. I live in the present and the future.

We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.

I mean, there's no point in sittin' around and cryin' about spilt milk. Gotta move on.

I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.

We cannot put off living until we are ready.

The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.

I am a big believer that whatever has gone lies in the past. You should only learn from it, and you should only look at the present and the future. That's been my father's philosophy and mine as well.

I seldom look back.

You can't relive your life.

You dwell too much on the past, you forget that you've got to take care of the present.

If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.
