Thumper’s mother is almost universally quoted as saying “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
Not to take anything away from good ol’ mom, but Thumper actually got the advice from his dad, who never appears in the movie.
The dialog in Bambi actually went like this:
Thumper: He doesn't walk very good, does he?
Mrs. Rabbit: Thumper!
Thumper: Yes, mama?
Mrs. Rabbit: What did your father tell you this morning?
Thumper: [clears throat] If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all.
