My mother used to say . . .

 

If you cut too many corners you’ll just keep going around in circles

Your problems are only as big as you make them

The trouble with living alone is that it is always your turn to do the dishes.

The problem with trouble is it always starts out as fun.

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

Learn to turn life’s detours into special excursions

You might be older than you’ve ever been before, but you’re also younger than you’ll ever be again.

The naked truth is better than a well dressed lie

Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

You would worry less about what people think if you knew how little they did.
