Some that come to mind are; Dumber than the box the rocks came in. In God we trust, all others pay cash. There is no fool like an old fool. They told him it couldn't be done, but the poor fellow didn't know any better, so he went and did it anyway. If at first you don't succeed, suck eggs. If it don't go, chrome it. Chrome won't get you home.

Attributable to Mick and Morrie, the former I grew up with and the latter is the tradesman I did my apprenticeship under. Two irreplaceable characters. Bad drivers: That bloke couldn't drive a greasy stick up a pigs arse. He couldn't drive a nail into a bark ****house. He couldn't drive ducks to water with a stockwhip. Intelligence: He's got a couple of sheep loose in the top paddock. If brains were jelly (explosives) he couldn't blow his nose Weather: It's as cold/black as a whore's heart. Did you order this rain/hail/cyclone/heat, coz if you did I'm not paying for it. Measurement: It's as close as F**k is to swearing (you can use dammit for polite company)

Jon! I wonder what people who are not from the south think of all them sayin's! LOL We do say that stuff all the time.
For people who lie all the time I have this saying:
'He lies (even when he don't have to) just to keep in practice.'
All my life, I mean like from the time I was 5, my daddy drilled this saying into me:
'To thine own self be true'
Because some people, especially teens tend to lump everything to the extreme, for example they'll say something like 'they ALWAYS do -etc.', or 'They NEVER do -etc'. . .'), I say:
'Never say never - never say always - always say sometimes'
For when I get bogged down in ridiculous details which are not profitable I tell myself:
'Perfection is completion when time is of the essence'
When my teenager and I are playin' around wrestlin', we call each other names and pinch or whatever, we say, in ebonics, as if to dare each other: 'Do it one-mo'gin' or 'SAY it one-mo'gin!'
Which is, in technical translation: 'I dare you to do (or say) that one more time again'
I love quotes, so, lastly, here's one I have in my shop:
'We the willing led by the unknowing & unconcerned have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing'
