Now that you are going to college, I expect you to LEARN, and don't let those textbooks and classes get in your way!

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster…

He also said, "Get away from that wheelbarrow; you don't know nothin' 'bout no machinery!". (Actually, that was Brother Dave Garner.)

My grandmother (his mother-in-law) was a short lady. Dad asked her once, "how is your lawsuit against the City of Kinder going?" No one knew what he was talking about and then he said, "for building those sidewalks too close to your arse!"

Once we were older and got in his way when he was trying to do something, he'd hit us with a "I'm frickin this chicken, you just stand back and watch the feathers fly!"

He'd also tell us, "You can't make chicken salad from chicken shite."

Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.

Keeping a $100 bill on you at all times: It’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

If your father is poor it's not your fault. If your father in law is poor, it is.

My property won't be worth spit in a bucket.

She could suck the chrome off a tailpipe.

Do the job right the first time.

If you borrow something, return it in better shape than when you got it.

Asked me when I first started dating my wife, with that classic shite-eating grin on his face, if she had a red bush.

I miss that man every day. He passed in June of 18. ::

Whenever I'd get upset about something as a kid and be a wreck, like breaking a favorite toy or losing a sporting event later on, he'd say "if that's the worst thing that ever happens to you, you're in pretty good shape"

Also another I say from him: "Manners make the man." I was well-trained with my manners and I have to say it has served me extremely well in life, both personally and professionally.

And I now say both to my kids.

Also another favorite: "Sure, but don't tell you mother. And if you do, I'll deny it"
