Corny, Perhaps, But Good Advice

You have just one mouth
but two ears.
Talk less; listen more.

Janice, my mother drummed this into me, but did it work? … Sometimes I think that she might have also told me: God gave you a big mouth, so it could hold your big (size 14!) feet... Oh, well... Congrats on your trophy win in the contest! Best wishes, Gershon

Another good one, from my mother, is, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face"! Thanks so much, Gershon! :-) Janice
