"My mother always said..."
"My father would tell me..."
How many times haven't we heard that from our own parents? How many words of wisdom have been passed along in this way from one generation to the next? And though you might have rolled your eyes when that quote was coming, you couldn't help but retain some for your own use.

These are things you'll carry with you, like a torch, to light the way of those who'll come after you.
