Mabel

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.  
Do not mistake activity for achievement.
~ Mabel Newcomb

When I was a kid, at dinner, if my mom caught me with my elbows on the table, she would say,

Mabel, Mabel,
If you're able,
Get your elbows off the table.

This annoyed me on a number of levels - first and foremost was the fact that apparently my mother could not remember my name.
