Quotes from my Childhood

Things I heard a LOT when I was growing up:

Think, Think, Think, Kimberly. Never stop thinking. 
Happiness is wanting what you have.
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
Do the right thing.
Tracy, I don't care if they like me.  It's the results I'm after. 
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
The truth shall set you free.
(sung) My children are boneheads, they whine and complain... 
Your first option is to do nothing.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
How you are perceived is YOUR responsibility.
How 'bout them apples? 
I'm a poet and I didn't know it, but my feet show it, cuz they're longfellows. 
Let's don't and say we did.
Fiddle fart
Bull Frockey
Whatty? (when we called "Daddyyyy")
A half-truth is a whole lie.   
You are a Higginbotham, You wear my name.
It takes just one "Aw, shit" to ruin a thousand "Atta boy!s".
Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

    I know, right? But that's like, it. That's all I recall. Let me know if I am missing any others from way back when.

    I remember "You're a Higginbotham and a Higginbotham tucks in their shirts."

    (but maybe that my own battle) :)

    I'll try to remember some other more general lines...that was sort of fun :)

    Except he got a vocab word wrong....Contentment is wanting what you have, not happiness : o)

    say what you mean and mean what you say.

    Remember some to the effect of .... how you are perceived is what you said. .... or it doesn't matter what you say, it's how you are perceived...

    Oooh, yeah. I will add that perceived one. I will have to see if I can recall better how it went.
