Life's advice and phrases....

[Tradewind]

Spurred by Harley's quote about toilet paper. Post quotes and sage advice or colloquialism's. Inevitably politics get in the way but let's keep it to a minimum. Meme's are ok as our esteemed colleague, Mssr Lamb seems to favor; as pictures always help your point. Let's try to avoid plagiarism and award whomever you borrowed the quote from.

One that my mom always told us growing up. “Good grades are like money in the bank.”

Not exactly true, but being the youngest of 12 kids I doubt I would have been able to make it through college without the scholarships those good grades provided.
