Some from my grandfather:

"What does being hungry have to do with it (eating)?"

(After drinking) "I have to drive. I'm in no condition to walk!"

"Some people eat to live and some people live to eat."

This one is now a popular saying: "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes, I even put it in the food!"

My grandmother used to say to us "A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine" She always had us drink orange juice with our breakfast. It was very inportant to her that we drank this. An Apple a day keeps the doctor away is one I have heard for many years.
