If I can't fix it, I'll tear it up so bad no one can.

Have a coke and a smile and shut the f@#$ up!

Your proper lack of planning does not necessarily constitute an emergency on my part.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why do it once right when you can do it wrong three times.

"There is no such thing as 'sailorproof'"

On of my own personal ones I made up is "I was a sailor and a sergent, I can drink, I can cuss, and I can fight. Not necessarily in that order..."

I just asked my wife what are some things I commonly say that maybe the girls will repeat later in life and she said "RIGHT NOW" and "KNOCK IT OFF" and "Turn out the lights when you leave the room"...

Hi all

"If I have seen a further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."

I often hear the saying today. It can be traced back to at least the 12th century. One of the more famous uses of it is by Isaac Newton who wrote a variation of this in a letter to the rival scientist Robert Hooke in 1676: "If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."

One would think that Newton was being very unassuming and acknowledging his success to be founded upon the work of others. However context is all important - Robert Hooke was a hunchback. Seems to me that this quote in the letter was a very witty and nasty stab at Hooke. The power of words is can be very sharp.
