I was raised by my grandparents in a time where corporal punishment (even extreme) was the norm. My grandfather, however thought that honesty was very important, so the deal was that if I did wrong and fessed up truthfully and promptly I would not get hit. Other sanctions would be applied, but not physical. The lesson I have kept to this day was that lying about it will only make it worse.

Always respect yourself and demand that others (especially men) respect you too. This was from a letter my mom wrote to me when I was 12. She saved it and when she died 5 years later (cancer) I found it and read it. I always remembered her words and married a wonderful, kind man who treats me with respect, admiration and love. This is one of the most important things I want to instill in my daughters.

the ever popular - do unto others - is a big one and my mom always said - patience is a virtue. she was so right and i'm doing my best at it but, it does tend to wear thin now and again.
another was - you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. also very true. it has helped me through a lot of situations.

My mother raised me to know that every person on this planet is precious in the eyes of God and therefore should be treated as such.

They did not specifically.
What I learned I learned on my own.
To be compassionate, respectful of myself and others, to be humble and to always end my day in a prayer.

marital advice: If it doesn't make a difference tomorrow, don't fight about it today. ( married 26 years)
the one I pass on to my son is: No one Else's opinion is more important than your own.
that doesn't mean I don't respect yours. it just means that in the end mine is the one that matters to me as yours should to you.

My dad said "be honest", just work hard, really earn your living, your education is very, very important. GO TO CHURCH.
