Good Advice From Mothers

We all know that our mothers are very wise and always know the right thing to say or do. Well it is the same for famous mothers too.

•    Before you do anything life-changing, call me! Halle Berry, actress. Mother: Judy Berry.
•    The source of my mother's love and strength is evident in the advice she gives me every time I leave. A kiss on the cheek, a hug and a reminder to keep God first. I, in turn, share the same advice with my 6-year-old daughter. Eric Benet, singer. Mother: Joyce Jordan.
•    The best advice my mother ever gave to me was: 'Strivers achieve what dreamers believe. If you put your mind to it, you can do it. Be careful what you wish for because you might get it. And, listen to me; I've been through it already.' Usher, singer. Mother: Jonnetta Patton.
•    When I was young, my mother always used to quote to me First Corinthians 15:33 which, paraphrased, says bad associations spoil youthful habits. As I came to understand, what my mom was telling me was to be careful who you let into your life. That one piece of advice has saved me countless heartache, and I've never forgotten it to this day. Gerald Levert, singer: Mother: Martha L. Levert.

•    My mother always told me that there is no substitute for hard work. Even though she wanted me to be a medical doctor, she let me know that if I wanted to be a lawyer it was all right, as long as I promised her that I would be the best that I could be. I have always tried to keep this promise to my beloved mother, who passed this life in October 1991, but who is still very much with me each and every day. Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., attorney.
