These are some of what my Mom used to say:
You make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
You've made you bed, now lie in it.
Just because a book opens and closes doesn't make it a prayer book.
No one is better than me and I am better than no one else.
Close the door, you weren't raised in a barn.
And if there was someone she didn't like; I wouldn't give them air if they were in a jug.
