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.

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."

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't,

you can't. Either way, you are right.
