My grandfather (Joseph L. Labrie) had many sayings, but a few I remember because, as Mr. Frost said, he told me 'till I was so sick of hearing it I never forgot':
If I ever got hurt doing something because I wasn't paying attention: "That's experience going in!"
If I was crying or protesting because it hurt when he was trying to remove a splinter with his pocket knife: "It hurt going in. It's going to hurt coming out."
When we all working together as a family: "Many hands make light work!"
