Mom bought my little brother a monthly calendar that has some important sayings I felt were important to pass along. (Unfortunately, I can’t include pictures of a really fat, unsuccessful toad or a puffin lifting a mouthful of fish, etc., so try to use your imagination…)
I don’t repeat gossip. So listen carefully.
Anyone can be passionate. But it takes real lovers to be silly.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs — it’s quite possible you haven’t grasped the situation.
Stay in bed — it’s safer.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished.
If at first you don’t succeed, swallow all evidence that you tried.
Never go to bed mad — stay up and fight.
I am NOT tense. Just terribly, terribly alert.
Be yourself. Nobody is better qualified.
Never eat more than you can lift.
If you leave me, can I come too?
