I have a lot, many I learned from my father:

"Can't never did anything"
"You'll have nothing and like it!"
"Trouble rides a fast horse"

Sounds like mine.

"Only brush the teeth you want to keep"
"You don't need a seatbelt, you're sitting on a couch"
"Opportunity knocks but once, while temptation leans on the doorbell."

If you are doing nothing you will never make a mistake

Some people are afraid to make a commitment. And they're committed to never making one.
 
You're usually voting between a douche and a turd sandwich so you better get used to it.

That kid doesn't have horse sense
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Don't put the cart before the horse
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink
 
You gotta be somewhere doing something and I'm here doing this.

It's a saying of mine to remind me to live in the now and find whatever the enjoyment is in any task whether it's interesting, boring, fun, mundane or miserable.

I think it originates from a lifetime of hard brutal dangerous work in all types of weather from snowstorms to pouring rain to scorching heat.

Ultimately though it ended up being the first line in a short poem.

You gotta be somewhere doing something and I'm here doing this.
But if I had my way I'd be with you today
Because your lips must be kissed
Your eyes must be gazed into
Your breast must be caressed
Honey you can guess the rest.


Working in snow up to my ass that day. LOL
