Nice word your mum sent, I like it!
The more you know you don't know
The other pearls of wisdom are lovely.
I learned that one when I moved back east for a while (and no, not the hard way )

Also fishing and gardening over many years has taught me patience
I am so bad with patience that I suspect if there is a god, my job in this life is to teach God to be patient with me learning patience.
And Be Kind. A kind word or nice pleasant hello or smile can do wonders for people
What, me ever be bitching?

-R.E.M.
Always walk a woman home.
Wear a tie even when it might be overdressed.
Do the dishes.
Send handwritten thank you notes.
Err on the side of being a gentleman.
So few seem to get it these days.
Or anyone! Sometimes when our post office is really busy, I'll open or hold the door for someone, and then someone else comes along, and then another, and pretty soon I just tell people I'm the doorman.

“I am made by my times
I am a creation of now
Shaken with the cracks and crevices
I'm not giving up easy
I will not fold
I don't have much
But what I have is gold
This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive”
