Text for sampler??

[doodleboo]

I'm making a cross stitch sampler for my Grandma and would like to put a phrase on it rather than just the alphabet.

Any (not too cheesy) suggestions? I am thinking family theme/biblical (but not very religious IYKWIM)/old fashioned...

Thanks!

The one on my cross stitch sampler says

?This needlework of mine can tell
When I was young I learned well
And by my elders I was taught
Not to spend my time for naught.?

There is also
?If to learning you will attend,
Learning will be your surest friend,
Dunces ever meet with shame
and never rise to work or fame.?
