I didn't get where I am today...

[Xollob]

Just found this excellent Wikiquote page with quotes from CJ in the series The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. But there must be more...

[amarillis]

Here's a few:

I didn't get where I am today by having green frogs thrust down my crotch.
I didn't get where I am today by thinking.
I didn't get where I am today by biting people in the changing room.
I didn't get where I am today by wearing underpants decorated with Beethoven.
I didn't get where I am today by everything smelling of Bolivian unicyclist's jockstraps!
I didn't get where I am today by sleeping with sweaty, Caledonian chefs!
I didn't get where I am today by drinking a liquid that's only been tested on pencils!
I didn't get where I am today selling ice creams tasting of bookends, pumice stone, and West Germany.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
There's no smoke without the worm turning.
It's the early bird that catches the quick brown fox.
Absence is better than a cure. Prevention makes the heart grow fonder.
What the eye doesn't see is goose for the gander.

Found a complete list of C.J.isms here. Just some of my favourites:

• "I didn't get where I am today by caring about ginger-headed strangers." 
• "Let's hope I'm not a fait accompli worse than death."
• "The only good ringer's a dead ringer."
• "It's never too late for a leopard to change horses in midstream."

This is my kind of philosopher!
