Do the best you can with what you’ve got.
He meant: Some will have more. Some will have less. You’ve got what you’ve got (money, connections, etc.). Don’t complain about what you lack. Use what you have to the utmost.

If you're going to do something, do it right the first time.

The one that he used when he was tired of my bullshite.
"Your arse is about to be grass, and I'm going to be the lawnmower."
The one that I will never forget. My Dad liked poker. He was very good at the game. When we walked into his hospital room after they had ran all the tests. I was the one who told him the cancer had metastasized to his brain. His only comment.
"Well, this is the hand I've been dealt. This is the hand I'll have to play."

Asking him for lunch money was always an adventure:
'You're in 8th grade, don't you have any little kids in your school'. (sarcasm)

I'm adopted so my dad would always tell me "Son it could be worse. You could be arse ugly like me and your brothers."
"Bout all you can control everyday is having a good attitude."

My dad was never big on quotes, just led by example

"Maybe she has a snapping pussy."
"It's cold enough to two-block the balls on a brass monkey."

“this ain’t no rest home.”
Every morning I slept in past 6. Especially delightful on Saturdays where he wanted me mowing before the sun was up. We grew up in the country, so he wasn’t being an a-hole to my neighbors, just me.
“Measure twice, cut once.”
“Dammit, hold the light where my hands are.”
“Get the F off my property and never come back.”
Only time I ever heard my old man use the F word. Our neighbor had been in an accident with my mom and my mom was in a coma. Injury lawyers showed up trying to get him to sue our neighbors and he chased one off with a gun.

Did your dad work as a cooler at the Double Deuce?

Mine’s been gone since ‘89 but I recall all four of these from him.
On the lighter side, almost invariably when we would drive past a cemetery, he’d say “People are just dying to get in there.” or if there was a significant fence around a cemetery, he’d amend the observation to a riddle: “You know why they have a fence around that place?” “Because people are just dying to get in there.”
There’s a fence around where he is now…

“hold the flashlight steady dumbass”

My dad would say "close but no cigar" and "same shite, different toilet" all the time and I just smile whenever he says it now. And I still say multiple times a day every day in numerous conversations.

Don't be starting fights, you'll usually lose. But if someone tells you they are about to whip your arse, you make sure they waited to late to start.
Pay your debts. A man who won't pay his debts is really a thief.
Respect anyone older than you with ma'am or sir.
If you're lucky enough to get a girl to go out with you, be damn sure to respect her and take her home to her daddy when you're supposed to.
Every human has a story to tell, trouble is most people don't give them a chance to tell it.
Those japs over there were simply doing what their government told them to do, just like us. Trouble is they didn't know any better.
If Truman hadn't dropped that bomb I probably wouldn't be here and neither would you.

When you are up to your arse in alligators, it’s hard to remember the primary objective is to drain the swamp.

Son, it's a shite sandwich. Do you want it on wheat or rye?
Posted on 8/28/22 at 10:51 am to magildachunks
Dad would always tweak sayings a bit for each situation. In the vehicle he would say "I'll shoot first and worry about the glass later" referring to the driver side window and his .44 Remington tucked into center console if we ventured into the 70805 or other unwelcoming parts of town.
