She would tell me "beauty must suffer" :scratch For the longest time, everytime i heard her say that all i could think was "if beauty suffers, then i want to be ugly the rest of my life."

My Grandma's was "Beauty knows no pain". She always said this when she was brushing the tangles out of my hair. :cry

One of my favorites and also my motto:

If it's not chocolate... then what's the point? 'Erma Bombeck'

[Sing4Him]

My mom used to say something similar: "You have to suffer to be beautiful."


Oh.. my good friend had a great liner for her begging children-- I used often when my kids were little asking for frivolous things:

"When ya want, ya don't get!"

Another from Erma Bombeck:

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

I have one from the Father off a friend of mine. They had 7 kids and when 1 of their teens wanted to use the family car or started talking about wanting their parents to buy them a car he would tell them:

Walkin' ain't crowded.

Another good Jack Handy quote:

The face of a child can say it all. Especially the mouth part of the face.
