One variant that I've enjoyed is "You've buttered your bread, now lie in it!"



Oh, my God! I thought my mother was the only one who said that.



Some other Mom-isms:



"At the end of every rainbow is a silver lining."

"He left his footprint across the face of time." (Ouch!)

"If you can't beat 'em, forget about it."





In the same vein, a client of my father's used to say: "No matter how you

twist and turn, it all comes out in the wash."
