Will Rogers

Will Rogers appears in the corpus through a single humility aphorism that Charlie Munger quotes in Charlie Munger — Practical Thought About Practical Thought: “If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.” Kyle tags the line Spirit of Humility — it sits in Munger’s run of self-deflating, status-puncturing wisdom about staying grounded amid success.

Context: Will Rogers (1879–1935) was an American cowboy humorist, vaudeville performer, newspaper columnist, and film actor — one of the best-known public figures of his era, famous for folksy, plain-spoken political and social wit.
