Daddy's Pearls of Wisdom!

One day during seminary(which is when you wake up before school and go study the scriptures) my Dad asked us what we would most like to inherit from someone. This got me to thinking, and one of the things I decided I'd like to have was all my Dad's stories and sayings he repeats all the time. I just thought yall might benefit from these little pearls of wisdom! Enjoy:
