Advice from a previous generation

We all have had it.
A father, grandfather, uncle, mother, aunt, etc who gives advice or has a saying that they repeat often or live by.

What have you heard?

My grandfather, who passed in 1999, often would mention that when he was a kid (1930s) the saying at the dinner table was

"He who eats the fastest, gets the mostest."

Then there is the old classic

"I brought you into this world and I can take you out!"

One of my Dad's favorite to use on me when he was in a hurry was

" If you had six years head start on the seven year itch you would still be late"

Oh yeah another one he used every spring.

"Hold this wire while I pull the rope and check for spark" that one always lead to an "enlightening experience"

My father would always say, if crying would help!, he`d cry too!

or
it`s not the cough that carries you off!
it`s the coffin they carry you off in!

I think it had some thing to do with smokers!
