The secret of success is constant attention to purpose (Benjamin Disraeli)
There's many a slip twixt cup and lip (grandmother)
It won't be what you think it will be, but it won't be what you think it won't be either.

I was telling my husband about these and he gave me one. "It's colder than a well digger's ass" but I don't know if this will pass the sensors. He told me a couple of others, but I don't think I should write them down.

Your name is mud.
I hope your children are just like you (I think I must have been a handful -- sigh)

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch
Women are like cats, they only come around when they want something.
As usless as a boar hog with tits.

My father's favorite: For want of a nail, the shoe was lost and for want of a shoe, the race was lost. He said that, usually abbreviated to just "for want of a nail," when it was time to get busy and git working otherwise you and he were going to talk out in the woodshed.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
God never gives us more than we can handle.
The world isn't always fair.
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
