My Dad always told me, "Never get into a fight. But if its inevitable make sure you get the first punch in".

And also: "Always fight fairly. Unless you are losing, then hit them with a brick".


He was joking I know but he did teach me one thing that has stood the test of time:

"Bullies treat kindness as a sign of weakness and the only thing they understand is a force greater than their own".

pmsl Bernard

my Dad always told me the same thing didn't matter how many fights I got in I didn't get into trouble as long as I didn't cause it and I didn't hide from it.

Gran reckoned hiding was only putting it off for a later date

My mum always said when I fininshed with a boyfriend

"There's plenty more fish in the sea"

I absolutly hated it

another one was
"every dog has its day"
I still use that phrase and it has come true so many times
