Gems from my grandmother (who’s now watching The Price is Right in heaven…with Moses, maybe?):

1. Show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.

2. All politicians are the same; they go in straight and come out crooked.

3. The poor woman thinks she can fit California into Rhode Island (usually describing someone’s choice of clothes).

4. Don’t go barefoot; you’ll end up with feet like boards (I did.)

5. God doesn’t sleep.

6. It hurts to be beautiful.

7. You may have more than one father, but you’ll only have one mother. Be nice to her.

8. Rain, rain, go away. Come back another day.

9. God doesn’t like ugly (referring to attitude, not appearance; see next).

10. Poor thing’s as ugly as homemade sin.

11. Tell me no secrets, and I’ll tell you no lies.

12. I’d rather owe to you than cheat you out of it.

13. I love you (she did).
