A quote that I like is when Herod the great was brought before Octavian after the battle of Actium, after the death of Mark Anthony & Cleopatra. He was asked about his collaboration & relationship with "MA" as he (Herod) was a supposed ally of Rome. Fully expecting death, his response was to state "Ask not whose friend I was. Rather ask, How good a friend I was to him". At this Octavian was sufficiantly impressed to spare his life. As to Herods subsequent career. As they say, the rest is history. Hope this helps. I.ll try to dig some more up.

Well, when you greet someone, instead of sayig, Hi how are you say "Hi, hows your belly off for spots" Instead of saying,
my gosh, he's a bit loopy, say " golly, he's not quite the
sixteen ounces" and if someone is showing off, instead of saying, look at that hooligan making a spectacle of himself
say " Gordon bennett, i bet his mother loves him"

My favourite is a little poem my late father used to recite - "It is sad to lose your lover when your heart is full of hope, but it's worse to lose the towel when your eyes are full of soap".

Never pluck your eyebrows from above, or stay with a man you don't love.
Life's a swine, and then you diet.
Don't give away what you can flog.
