My grandfather had a saying when it came to the cars we drove as teenagers. "That's a Rolls Cannardlie, rolls down a hill and can hardly get up the next."
With regards to that in bold letters, my mother never uttered those words. She took care of the discipline herself, usually with a wire handled fly swatter.
As for sayings, one that still rings out true was, "If someone says the government ought to do something, grab your wallet, because you are fixing to pay for whatever."

My mom did too with a steel Hecker's Flour pancake turner. It got where all she would have to do was rattle the kitchen drawer where she kept it and I'd behave or be gone. I still have that pancake turner.
from a friends dad when his son was getting a divorce and she cleaned out the bank account and house even taking the light bulbs.....

My dad when questioning why I did something.
Me: "I thought......"
Dad: "You thought, when you should have been thinking!"
Never made any sense to me.
He was a mean ba$tard.
Never gave advice but would always say:
"I could have told you that was a mistake!"
A lot of good it did me after the fact.

My Dad always said “A rancher brings a bull into the field to service the cows. That tells you all you ever need to know about Customer Service Departments.”
When working on some project with my great uncle, I stated asking about step 73 when we were on step 4… “Don’t worry about the mule going blind, just load the f…ing wagon.”
To which I reply, "High Five!"
