"If you are going to another room, and you see something that belongs in that other room, pick it up and take it with you!" - my Mother.
Now, when I was a teenager, that was annoying. When I started having to clean my own apartment all by myself, it suddenly transformed into a common sense practice that saved hours of time and irritation. Now that I am older, it seems like a tidbit of wisdom that applies to almost everything. It's not eloquent, out of a holy book, or from a famous person, but . . . there ya go.
"Everybody that you see has a story to tell. The stories that you need to hear the most will come from the people you don't think you want to meet." -- my Great-Aunt
