There are no centaurs in Oxford

1) The situation of an absence of horse-bodied men from the old English city of Oxford.

2) An exclamation caused by a ridiculous long-term belief being realised to be impossible.
1) "I haven't seen any of those horse-bodied men about this city of gleaming spires lately..."
"Well of course, there are no centaurs in Oxford!"

2) "What?! The Moon isn't made of cheese?"
"Isn't that obvious? There are no centaurs in Oxford!"

No risk it, no biscuit

If you don't take the chance, you can't get the reward (prize).
It's a long shot, but if I don't go for it I'll never be a millionaire. No risk it, no biscuit! "B" is my final answer!

no squares in my circle

Nobody likes to hang around boring/dull persons for more than half a sec. Having no squares in your circle means your closest ones' group is interesting, driven and adventurous; you stand out as opposed to fitting in.

Taken from the 1992 film 'A league of their own', when Tom Hanks' character says it to own his female players who started to weep when she couldn't handle the criticism he had on her.

Outside of baseball, people replace the last word with their occupation (There's no crying in politics!///There's no crying in wrestling!///etc)

When someone says that to you, they actually want to say something like 'Be a man' or 'Don't be a pansy'.

A variant of the use was spotted on many websites, while commenting on Hillary Clinton's infamous speech in which she seemed to on the brink of crying.
* During the halftime of a baseball match *
COACH: 'ANDERSON! WTF where you doing out there!? Don't you have a f*cking brain or something? Not even a chimp hit the ball like that! Where you out of your f*cking mind? WHERE YOU??
ANDERSON: *starts to cry*
COACH: Oh come on, what the f*ck is this...
ANDERSON: *still crying* I'm sorry coach....I was stupid, I....*proceeds to cry even louder*
COACH: No! No, No, No! You stop that right now Anderson, do you hear me! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

There is no point in having a tail and wagging it

If you are in charge of a group of people there is no point in doing the work yourself, instead of making your workers do it for you.
The supervisor Phil was shoveling sawdust while his workers were watching. Marcus yelled out 'there is no point in having a tail and wagging it'. Phil put the shovel down and made the workers do the shoveling.
