*Always forgive your brothers and sisters if you get in a squabble right away.

* Don't go to bed angry.
* Always do a good deed because God sees everything.
* If you are tempted to do something think of the outcome.
* Pick up things off the floor because someone may fall, not because you are caught in the act of doing a good deed.

Answer 9

Sorry... the phrases my parents spoke to us always made sense. Furthermore, they were never such VIOLENT phrases as your parents seemed to spew. The most "violent" my father ever got was to give us the warning of, "Don't you even THINK it!"

Have a great day!
