Who said life was supposed to be fair?
Always say please and thank you. That way, you get more.
If you forget, you'll be grounded till the end of the world.
Shake it off. It's only pain.
A little pain never hurt anybody.
Don't take yourself so seriously, take what you do seriously!
You're always a winner if you lose with a smile.
Four things come not back: time past, the spoken word, the sped arrow and a missed opportunity.
Life is a journey and you've just reached one of many speed bumps to come.
If you want to do something, do it because you want to. Don't do it because someone else did.
As long as you tried your hardest, that's all that matters.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts then we'd all have a merry Christmas.
Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
If you're gonna be dumb, you've gotta be tough.
Worrying about things you can't change is like a rocking chair... it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
It's hard to be good, and easy to be bad.
Don't tell on anybody unless you tell on yourself first.
The first liar don't stand a chance.
Laugh at yourself first, you'll take the bite out of others doing so for you

I'll play catch after I read the paper.
Coffee will stunt your growth.
A little dirt never hurt anyone--just wipe it off..
Get your elbows off the table.

Stop crying or I'll give you a reason to cry.
Don't forget to check your oil.
You could drive a wooden man nuts!
You're only young once.
You're gonna like it, whether you like it or not!
The early bird gets the worm. Rise and shine!
If your friend jumped off a bridge would you?
You have things so easy!
Don't look at me in that tone of voice!
What do you think this is, your birthday?
How many times do I have to pound that into your head?
What part of NO don't you understand?
I don't care what other people are doing! I'm not everybody else's father!
Didn't your teacher learn you anything?!
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Don't use that tone with me!
Am I talking to a brick wall?
If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...

You'll be sorrreee!
Hey, did you hear me talking to you?

Go tell your mother she wants you.
