Think is was George Burns but can't be sure.
"If I'd known I'd last this long. I'd have taken better care of myself".

Woody Allen
"I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens".

These might be just Liverpudlian expressions not really sure.

“If you had brains you’d be dangerous”.
“He / She has got the brains of a rocking horse”
“You are talking verbal diarrhoea”

They all sound rather derogatory expressions but are usually said in jest.

A good Scots expression for when things really cheese you off is:
I'm sick and scunnered.

When you're up to your neck in the sh**, don't hang your head.

Ha! "Yer no sae green as yer cabbage looking" and "They're aw oot o' step but oor Jock" were two of my parents' favourites.

My personal favourite is a modern one, "Not my circus, not my monkeys". It comes in awfy handy. 🌼
