There's many a way in the world to do one thing or another, and I think The Golden Rule is the best guideline one could hold to. The link here refers to various versions of The Golden Rule from several world religions ~ I am otherwise unfamiliar with the "Teaching Values" site.
The Golden Rule was first printed for The Saturday Evening Post. The resolution on this pic isn't quite as clear, but shows what the April 1, 1961 cover looked like.
I do so love Norman Rockwell ~ his own statement regarding his work is quite telling, I believe:
"Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed."
- Norman Rockwell

Can you believe, I'd never seen this picture til I saw it here?
I like it a lot, too.
And I think your mom did a great job with you. You must've listened. :)
I've never seen that one either! Thanks for sharing.
Rockwell is my favorite artist.
I've been to two of his museums. One in The Berkshires and one in Vermont. I have been to the one in The Berkshires about five times. I was in the Berkshires this past weekend and I drove by his old house and studio. I have seen that painting in person. It's awesome.
To me being able to make a painting look like a phtograph is more impressive to me than painting a bunch of blurry colors.
That is a powerful pic with a powerful saying, love it!
Annejelynn!
This is why I love coming here. I have never seen this one either! I totally want it for my front hall. Love the NR quote at the end. I love his stuff. I do have the one with the girl in the Shakespearean outfit in the barn picture.
Have a great day, you!
Love it. Just love it. This pic shows me, once again, what a big warm heart you have, Annejelynn. You're one interesting lady.
And to answer you're question. If you're into Irish pubs, my favourite in Montreal is called Hurley's on Crescent Street where some other cool watering holes are. Its a cool town but if you're driving look out. Running a red light or getting cut off is VERY common place.
