In another thread, someone mentioned that their relative used to say, “You get what you pay for.” This got me thinking that there are a million good phrases like this one. Please share some of your (PG rated or so) sayings.

I can't think of more cause it's so late, but I'll be damned if all this isn't true. Come to think of it, its a damn miracle we get any data at all in our experiment with as many things that can possibly go wrong. seriously, the number of things we have that can grind the whole lab to a halt is somewhere up in the millions.

YWIA !
You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.
(Shoo-bee doo-wah)
funny...I always got a different impression from that saying. I always thought it meant that "looking it in the mouth" referred to thinking about how much it would cost to feed it. In general stating that it was rude to look at a gift in terms of its cost to you.
