"Only worry about yourself" (this was a response to thinking about other people and worrying/envying about them)

"If your friends jump off a cliff, would you jump too?" (response to how I/people follow their friends/peers and do whatever they do)
 
While he was not my dad, my grandfather said "If you get married, you feel like a beat dog."
 
One of my Grandfather's favorite sayings: O barbiere te fa bello, o vine te fa guappo ea femmena te fa fesso. (The barber makes you handsome, wine make you bold and women make you act like a fool.) said to me more than once in my life.
 
"Son, Procrastination is like masterbation, in the end your only screwing yourself." this is my life time quote from my dad haha
 
"life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it"

"when ever you're running away from something you are always running towards something else"

And the one that really hurt, when I first started work at a supermarket age 15 [still at school] he said "save $0.50 from every dollar you earn". A few years later I had finished school, having ignored his advice and spent all my cash on fish and snowboarding, and was looking to buy my first decent car. I was looking to get a loan and was figuring out how much I'd need to save. He got a calculator [he's a maths teacher] and roughly worked out how much I'd earned working part time over the past four years, and how much I would have saved if I listened to him, and if I had followed his advice I'd have been able to pay cash not for the car I was looking at, but for the top-spec one I really wanted that was double the price of the one I was looking at buying.....
 
My dad always said,
"If you can drink all night with the boys, you can get up and work with the men!"
Best advice I ever got from anyone!

"I didn't ask if it was yours, I asked you to pick it up." "Don't do a half *** job and just walk away." "Save up a little more before you look at cars, the more you save the easier it'll be to pick, because there's more options." "It's ok to not know what you're doing yet in life, just make sure you're working while you figure it out."

I listened and ended up buying a Beemer cash instead of a bucket. And he still let me borrow the cars while I saved. "Just keep saving and ill take care of the rest."
