My Grandmother would say "Suck it up and Drive on" if you where upset over something or got hurt.

My grandfather, who at 12 years old started smoking cigarettes and driving trucks, had many memorable lines, two of which stick out:
His advice for having sex: "slide it in slow and gentle, and then jam it in to the hilt and pound away".
And this naturalist observation: "A cunt is a small, fur bearing creature that can consume large quantities of meat at one time without choking".

@ vespertillio: You reminded me of one of my family sayings: "The job isn't over until someone is bleeding." Usually it's not, and if it is, we're very suspicious.
My girlfriend's family has a good one too: "P!ss on that sh!t, Alice." It goes back to when her mother and aunts were little. They went camping at a lake and heard a very loud marital disagreement that ended with that phrase. They've been saying it to each other ever since.

"You got kidneys." Used after someone, usually me, did something stupid. Implies that you have a brain the size of a kidney bean.

Uncle John use to say," Well, dip me in shit! I will never smile again!" also" Hornier than a puppy with two peckers" and" shaking like a dog pooping peach pits"
My dads," it will feel better when it stops hurting"
Mom instead of swearing would say hockey pucks!

On a somewhat cleaner side, my German grandmother believed that every available space should have a picture. She'd say, "An empty wall is like a cow without a tail."

When she wanted the storm windows taken down she'd tell me, in her fractured English, " Why don't you while you're here take down the windows all."

Dad never said much but you could see the curtains move as his was he swinging to smack our bottoms. It was the Marine way.

My Dad would say (When he heard some absurdity or someone ticked him off):

"He needs to take an aeronautical intercourse at a traversing pastry."

I'm assuming everyone can translate this one. :D

If someone should have pants riding up the crack of their butt, it was, "Yank the goat out of the garden."
Another favorite is, "God help the man who gets what he deserves."

My Grandma used to say, when you had "wished" for something, "If you've got your wishes in one hand and you're shit in the other, which one's gonna fill up quicker?"

"Tighter than dicks hatband"

"Sweating like a whore in church"
