"Garbage in, garbage out."
From my dad; he was a sign painter, and he was obsessive about the quality of the materials he used.

"You're not stupid 'cause you learned a lesson the hard way. You're stupid 'cause you learned the same lesson the hard way, more than once."
My dad again, and I heard this one more than once growing up.

"He can run, but he can't hide." (Boxing champion Joe Louis' response on being told that challenger Billy Conn's plan was to keep running around the ring to make Joe chase him and wear him out. As it turned out, Joe was correct -- Billy ran around quite a while but was unable to hide from the knockout punch in the 13th round.)

It's not worth arguing about, but I have an actual transcription of Patton's speech to the 3rd Army. He never said that. Here's where it came from and you can see how things get twisted.

I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country.
Spoken by George C. Scott in the film Patton.
Variants:
No man ever won a war by dying for his country. Wars were won by making the other poor bastard die for his.
You don't win a war by dying for your country. You win a war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his.
War is not meant to be you dying for your country-it is by making the other bastard die for his.

It must be true, it's on the internet.:D
