10) Mum's favourite sayings and anecdotes

These are a collection of sayings and stories mum recently asked me to type for her - they have been written by various people:

· When life knocks you flat on your back, it certainly puts you in a grand position for looking up!

· A little girl threw a tantrum and was sent to her room in disgrace. Sometime later she came out of her room with a letter for her mother. “Dear Mum,I hate you, All my love Alice.”

· Much as I admire and sincerely appreciate the skills of our scientists, surgeons, doctors and nurses, there is undoubtedly something special about the healing power of your own home, that beats all other medicine.

· You must feel very proud when you hear of clever pupils who have gone on to do great things. “Yes” said the teacher “but the ones I am most proud of are those who perhaps were not that bright academically, but have found jobs, made good marriages and are living quiet, decent lives. They are my star pupils.

· For the lonely – time can drag, For the busy – time flies.

· Don’t worry if your load is uphill. The view from the top could be breathtaking.

· Maybe life is not quite the same for me these days (partially blind –with a walking stick) but, I have so many memories to keep me company. No one can take them away from me - I am fortunate.

· Don’t let anything come out of your mouth without going through tour brain first.
