More From Will Rogers

To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. to lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. to lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. it is like losing--i'm sorry, i would rather not go on.
Mother Brother Sorry
If you lose money you lose much, if you lose friends you lose more, if you lose faith you lose all.
Friends Faith Spiritual
The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.
Believe Purpose Littles
There are all sorts of losses people suffer - from the small to the large. you can lose your keys, your glasses, your virginity. you can lose your head, you can lose your heart, you can lose your mind. you can relinquish your home to move into assisted living, or have a child move overseas, or see a spouse vanish into dementia. loss is more than just death, and grief is the gray shape-shifter of emotion.

You can’t look too far ahead. do that and you’ll lose sight of what you’re doing and stumble. i’m not saying you should focus solely on the details right in front of you, mind you. you’ve got to look ahead a bit or else you’ll bump into something. you’ve got to conform to the proper order and at the same time keep an eye out for what’s ahead. that’s critical, no matter what you’re doing.
Eye Sight Order
Whenever i find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly november in my soul; whenever i find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral i meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, i account it high time to get to sea as soon as i can.

That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as the artist's reward.
Depression Depressing Artist
I kept pushing against the black, though, almost a reflex. i wasn't trying to lift it. i was just resisting. not allowing it to crush me completely. i wasn't atlas, and the black felt as heavy as a planet; i couldn't shoulder it. all i could do was not be entirely obliterated.
Depression Crush Black
The intensity, glory, and absolute assuredness if my mind's flight made it very difficult for me to believe once i was better, that the illness was one i should willingly give up....moods are such an essential part of the substance of life, of one's notion of oneself, that even psychotic extremes in mood and behavior somehow can be seen as temporary, even understandable reactions to what life has dealt....even though the depressions that inevitably followed nearly cost me my life.
Depression Giving Up Believe
I find nothing more depressing than optimism.
