Hear, hear!
Without the moms of the world, society would be a lot less gracious, and a lot less respectable!
When I think of all the time my mama took to teach me the "little things" from baking fluffy biscuits to how unattractive chewing gums can be, I just love her all the more. In honor of my mama, Dixie Lee Keating, I post the following quotes, which I heard just about daily while growing up:
"Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way."
"It takes so little to be kind."
"Service to others is the rent you pay for the space you occupy on earth." (this is from Albert Schweitzer)
Thanks, Mama!
