Never pass by a chance to shut up.
Good soldiers never pass up a chance to eat or sleep. They never know how much they'll be called on to do before the next chance.
[NFL fans] wish they'd shut up and play football, and I think the vast majority of people, "Shut up and act! Shut up and sing! Shut up and star in your TV show! Just shut up and do what you do, but shut up!" I think they're wearing out their welcome.
Never miss a chance to shut up
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
I never miss a good chance to shut up
Never pass up the chance to sit down or go to the bathroom.

Many people don't wake up. They fight against a difficult time, shut the window and become more bitter.

So if you've shut the window, don't worry, another hard time is going to come around the corner - to give you that chance all over again.
As she left my room I knew I should shut up. But you know when you should shut up because you really should just shut up...but you keep on and on anyway? Well, I had that.
The chance to go to the postseason, it's hard to pass up.
Do not beat up on yourself. Do not criticize your writing as lousy, inadequate, stupid, or any of the evil epithets that you are used to heaping on yourself. Such self-bashing is never useful. If you indulge in it, your writing doesn't stand a chance. So when your mind turns on you, turn it back, stamp it down, shut it up, and keep writing.
Gossip is the currency of the discourse, so you should shut up about yourself. Never confess, never explain, never apologize, and never complain.
