My late mother had a quiver-full of wise observations that she would drop into conversation unexpectedly. Quite why I remember some of them, I really don't know. This one was a classic....
"You can always tell a drug addict by his dirty finger nails"
On the wisdom of going to a particular cinema on the South Coast, she told me....
"If you go in there, you'll catch Foot and Mouth disease"
Some of her wisdom was quite sound....
"Never do anything that you would later be ashamed of"
Or when I was very small....
"Never do anything you wouldn't do in front of Jesus" (she wasn't religious, but I expect she thought this a more powerful message)
Her most common advice was....
"If you can't be easy, be as easy as you can" (I like this one)
And her most optimistic advice, although I'm not sure it's correct, was....
"Everything happens for the best".
What wise advice did your mother give to you?
