"If you're going to bother to do something, do it well."

"Everything can be used again for something."

"Always leave the house with clean underwear on in case you get into a car accident."

Can you hear the voice of your mother? The voice you took for granted because she was "just mom," not your teacher? And now, can you find the gifts of her values in the words she spoke?
