There's a beautiful little book of quotations I finished reading today entitled: [Everything I've Learned]: 100 Great Principles to Live By, edited by Leslie Pockell. A few of my favorite quotes from this book are:
Never squat with your spurs on--Anonymous
Never test the depth of water with both feet--Anonymous
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower--Hans Christian Andersen
I also recall the following from my mother:
Why can't you remember to toss your underwear down the chute? (Mom, to me, age sixteen)
Why don't you give that Becky girl a call some time? (Mom, to me, age twenty-one)
Why didn't you cut your hair? (Mom, to me, age twenty-two)
Happy Mother's Day!
