    Mom was a big fan of "If all your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too?"

    And my dad's response to "Are we there yet?" on road trips was always the Yogi Berra-esque "We'll be there when we get there."

    My mom (rest her soul) would always say…(and these translate better in Spanish)

    Tell me who you walk with
    and I’ll tell you who you are.

    or

    It’s better to be alone
    Then in bad company.
