Mine passed away a decade ago but sometimes think about him saying it was going to take a generation or two for people to use social media the right way.

My dad wasn't as witty, but he did instill the phrase:
"Always try to avoid a fight, but if you have to fight, fight to win. There are no rules in a fist fight"

Whoever called it “near beer” was a terrible judge of distance.

dont sweat the petty things and dont pet the sweaty things
Dont be surprised by consistency/consistent behavior
the results you're getting are directly reflecting the system you've got put in place. dont like the results? change the system.

My dad never had any sayings that he repeated much, but tons of one-off one-liners.
The only repetitive thing was "Plumb Nelly" whenever crossing a state line.
One of my favorite one-offs was me and my brother and a couple friends packed in the station wagon checking in to the condo in Destin, pretty sure it was South Bay, we were early high school, my mom gets out to go check in, it's just us boys in the car. Girls walking around in bikinis etc.
"Look at all these packs of warm pussy".
We died laughing and still quote him to this day.

In reference to pussy:
“They should make tires out of that shite, can’t wear it out”

my father wasn't one for sayings, but my grandfather...

After screwing something up, Dad would tell "why you are so bright, that is why I call you Sun".

"Hard heads make soft asses"
"This one (left fist) will put you in the hospital. This one (right fist) will put you in the ground"
"All you're doing is jumping from the fire and into a frying pan"
