The worse thing is, all those things my Mum said to me that drove me nuts, I'm now saying to my own kids! :shock:

'cause you're nuts :lol: . what will YOUR kids think? :roll: :oops: :mrgreen:

I have many...but my favourites are:

"Procrastination is the thief of time"....and from an old friend and former workmate, when things got sticky..."Courage brother, do not stumble" which I think is a line from a hymn.

They'll probably say the same things to THEIR kids.

Bigger fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em
Little fleas have littler fleas and so ad infinitum.

Mine is "don't do anything stupid". It covers most situations.

My Mother's favorite was always "This too shall pass!" My husband's was "Worrying never solved anything."

"I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed it's beauty to them." Boris Pasternak

And my all time favorite when at a loss for works
Lord love a duck

This is so much fun!
