It is good to obey all the rules when you're young, so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.

When the crows come home to roost,
tarry not beneath the trees.

I learned that one the hard way

Keep 'er twixt the ditches.

Give 'er all she'll suffer and don't back off 'til she breaks.

Keep yer stick on the ice.

Be kind to each other. We're all in this together.

Fuck, fight and hold the light. (Canadian battle cry coined by the boys from the backwoods... 'hold the light' refers to jacking deer at night.)

Donuel... old Talkin' John said that in 1966... I think it must be a common line in one form or another.

Claim that you can't do the ironing because you're left-handed. It might just work.

Never get into a fight with a pig. You'll both get covered in muck, but the pig will enjoy it.

Never move into a new home on any day other than Thursday - (Old Irish Tradition)
Never build on or plough up a fairy fort (another)
Never boil cabbages twice (A Liverpool refusal to repeat what has just been said).
Never lose your head while looking for your tail in Lime Street (Liverpool joke)
Never hang a man with a wooden leg (a rope is far more efficient)
