I remember so many things do unto others what you want dome to you, when some one gives you sompthing say thank you If you don't want it just do away with it later. rember pritty is as pritty does no matter how pretty you are if you have a nasty attitue you are ugly even. if you are ugly your personaality will cove it up and you will be prerty in other peoples eyes.there was alot more
When something wasn't going well, my mom would say: "This, too, shall pass." It seems I remember it more now that she is gone. But it is stil true.
As a kid my old Grandad used to tell us 'Never forget to put your brain into gear before your open your mouth. It saves arguments and hurt feelings'... and he was invariably right. It definitely pays to think first before either acting of speaking.
My grandmother taught me, its not the gift, its the thought that counts when someone gives you something. It may not be something you like, but the person giving it gave it out of love and/or friendship. Never turn your nose up at that, dear. After they leave quietly put it away in a box for safe keeping, it may end up meaning a lot more to you at a later date. And if it doesn't than donate it to someone or someplace where it will find a new home. But never tell the giver that you don't like something they have given you, thats just mean and rude.

My Mum used to say. " Dont look down on the little ones or you will never get up to the big ones " This was in reference to money.
My sweet grandmother always said if you don't have any thing nice to say, don't say anything at all. how true!!
My Mom always told me to keep my friends close ...but my enemies closer ... I think she may have gotten this advice from others !!!! LOL ....
My mom always said "remember, what goes around comes around". I've told that to my kids and GK's. I also told my son "It takes more of a man to walk away from a fight than to fight".
My Mum always told me to "Reach for the Moon, as I already had the stars in my eyes!
I on the other hand have always told my children - "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all". I abhor gossip. I have lived by this adage all my adult life. Love and blessings Chris (clipart from Pamsclipart)
My mother used to say "It's better to have it and not want it, than to want it and not have it" and another " If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing properly" Shirley
Something practical my mom taught me was to set the table first, then even if supper is far from ready, it at least looks like food is on the way :-)
In dutch: wie het kleine niet eerd is het grote niet weerd. Now I would say in the UK Waste not want not.
If you can't say something nice, then don't say nothing at all......I really try to live by that unless I am really backed into a corner......
MY mom always had something to say, but always ended it by saying...Remember this when you are a mother.
I always thouth my mom was a bit daft really,she was/is full of silly saying,nothing of any use really. but got to love her anyway..lol
Dear Lesleyann,
You don't need to correct your spelling. We all have times when we forget to put in a letter or type too fast. Love Chris
When raising your children: "Choose your battles. Some aren't worth fighting & others you can not back down." Now my daughter uses the same advise. I may not have liked my son's longer hair, but it wasn't worth fighting over...now he laughs at his high school pictures!
Mine always says"Better days are coming" I always tell her she has been saying that for 50 plus years

The day you stop learning is the day you start to die. A piece of wisdom, and not meant to be morbid.
Que Sera Sera. Whatever will be will be. the future is not ours to see. Que Sera Sera.
