When my grandmother had something that troubled her, she'd say "I've worried about that long enough. I'm going to worry about something else for a while."

My grandfather told me that getting old ain’t for pussies.

We were in Dallas back in the 80’s at the furniture market. We were trying tail hail a cab. Cab stopped and my grandfather opened the door for my grandmother. Guy pushes her out of the way to climb in the cab. My grandfather grabbed the guy, drug him out the cab and beat his arse on the sidewalk. We all got in to go to dinner. He looked at me (12 years old at the time). He said son never let another man put his hands on your wife and get away with it). Stuck with me to this day.

Never pass up an opportunity to sleep.
You never know when you'll get another chance.

“Any old muddy water will put out a fire” & “Show me better than you can tell me” are 2 that come to mind…

Keep a bag for garbage in your car, when it fills up, just throw it out the window.

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

My wife’s grandma told her once that “ain’t nothing open after midnight accept bars and legs”.

I miss that woman.

My daddy used to say: It’s OK to be concerned about something, but don’t worry about anything. That’s not going to get you anywhere.

My momma said: If you don’t use your head, you’re gonna use your feet.

When we were bored as kids and asked her what could/should we do, she’d say: Go sit on the floor and let your feet hang.
