Ipohgal,
Funny list! Here are a few more serious sayings from my mother that stuck with me:
“Don’t downplay your accomplishments. People usually take you at your own evaluation.”
“Don’t worry about what people say about you. Your friends won’t believe it, and your enemies think badly of you already.”
“Eat more slowly! You’ll be able to pack more in. (Said ironically. I’m a big guy.)”
“Conservatives are usually those who have something to conserve.”
Perhaps your readers have some more to contribute.
“Every piece of unconsumed food left on that plate will appear on your face as pimples”, my mother used to tell my sister.
My mother, a typical capitalist said (1) “Don’t worry about what people think of you and the most important thing is that your wallet is bulging”, (2) If you work for others you will always be poor” (3) “If you don’t do well in school you may as well be a rickshaw puller”. Of course most mother would have warned their sons about beautiful women and beware of them!
