My dad once told me something I'll never forget.

[Proud Prepper]

"We the willing, working for the unknowing, are doing the impossable! We have done so much with so little for so long, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing!"

Im not sure where he got it from or if its his own creation, I thought it was funny and profound. Anyone else have anything wise or funny that there parents or mentors have said to them.

better one. "Kids, QUICK, move out of your parent's house, pay your own bills, and conquer, while you still know EVERYTHING".

 

[Silent Earth]

my dad said " stop doing that it makes you go blind"

My dad was always super critical. He once was all impressed when my buddy ran an assault course in 28 seconds, about 6 targets in the woods, about a 50 yd run, 2 hits on each with a .45 1911, ranges 5 yds to 15 yds. Then I ran it in 18 seconds, and Dad said" Do you have to stop to hit those targets, boy? Can't you hit them on the fly"? Almost 40% faster than what he HAD been impressed with. I told him. "dad, if I got there before i left, you'd say I wasted ammo"

Here is one, "those of you who think you know everything, make it hard for those of us who do"

The only advice my dad ever told me was to: "get married by the hour". Of course I never listened to him.

My dad said Marriage licences should have an expiracy date like Dog licences and TV licences I told my son "Every young man should get married after all why should they be happy"

Dad and my uncles had a lot of sayings. I remember a lot of them and cherish them but the one that always stood out and the one I smile at today (not then)

'Your not the only one in this world now get back to work' a little unremarkable, though, I was 7 years old and tired.

Here's a couple more sayings from my dad, usually followed by a whack; "I'll sew them pockets shut boy!" and "The work ain't gonna get done on its own dipshit".

When I was little, I would say,"We'll if..."
My dad would say, "We'll IF a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his butt on the ground when he jumps."

Only advice my dad ever told me was (son you don't cull no (Female Anatomy 101))

I like your dad's advice. A lot of wisdom there.

The last words I ever heard him say to a co worker visiting dad did n the hospital after his strokes when the co worker pointed to me and asked if he knew who I was. . That's my baby girl. Those were the only words he said on that visit. That is something I will never forget.
