My grandmother used to say, "Do what is right and God will give you the upper hand". She invariably added to this advice the imperative, "Think on".

Simple lessons (almost platitudes) but hard to learn, I sometimes think.

Your grandmother was a wise woman. I know it's true: maybe someday I'll put it into practice.

A harder lesson for some than others, that's for sure.
