Some that others have already said (hard work = success, trust cops), and off the top of my head:
That my ultimate goal in life is to find a husband, and carry and then raise children (people don't stop saying it once you grow up, you just hopefully learn that they're full of shit)
That "blood is thicker than water" and that your family will always be there for you/want what's best for you
IIRC, the original "blood is thicker than water" quote is actually "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means those that stand by you and fight and struggle with you, and are there for you, are more valuable than those biologically related to you.
Nice, do you have a source for that so I can fix the wikipedia article? Either way it doesn't particularly matter.
