Did the actor John Wayne create these rules? They're widely attributed to him, but I couldn't find when and where he said them.

They seem to be widely attributed to him

    Can you provide an example of where these quotes are attributed to him that isn't just a random image on iFunny?

Searchquotes lists the source of

Money can't buy happiness, but it's a lot more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.

as "unknown"

    You're probably right, but "I found a couple of random websites mentioning it without attributing it to him" feels like rather weak evidence to me. Can you give any reason why these are more likely to be correct than the random websites in the question which do attribute it to him?
