And get a stenographer to write it down

Body them with their lies

No need to make any up, literal translations of extant proverbs from other languages will suffice. To wit:

'Whether you like it or not, drink up the holy water, Gregory!'

'Placenta ahead, war backwards.'

'Like the Turk and his gun.'

One turnip, one hole
The candle illuminates others, yet destroys itself
