Also wisdom from great- aunts, uncles, and parents.
I am looking for a collection of wisdom from the past that is still relevant today.

My mother use to say:
Everybody's lying or not telling the truth
You don't get old being stupid
The best lesson is a bought lesson
The beginning of a road determines the path you'll take
If you'll lie you'll cheat, if you'll cheat you'll steal, if you steal you'll kill - mom said one followed the other
If I'm going to do any good let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again
Somewhat cynical wasn't she.... I still miss her

I don't know about wise, but when one of my sisters or I sat on the coffee table, she used to say "tables are for glasses, not for asses"... and for some reason, I remember that to this day, and she died 7 years ago.

It's better to be an old mans darling than a young man slave.

Somebody will always be waving their arms and screaming about the end of the world, no matter where you are. 99.9% of the time, nothing is going to happen.

You should always give what you can. My grandparents did, and no matter what, they always had plenty. What goes around, comes around.
