Simple and easy, just post up your favorite quotes for everyone to see!
It doesn't matter where it came from (movies music, tv, books).

I'll start with a pretty common one...

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."
- Ferris Bueller
 
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
Theodore Roosevelt
 
Spoken in the British House of Commons:

From a newspaper feature about a distant town in Greenland with rampant criminality and disrupted families:

"This is one of the most violent places in the world, but people here live beyond fear."

there is something very quirky and intriguing about that aphorism..
 
Thats on of my favorites Melissa, it is here on my desk at work.

I have done a couple of pieces or art with it on them and am eventually going to have it engraved in a coffee table i think. It's strange to think it came from the same man who said 'speak softly and carry a big stick.'

Here's two from our eloquent president:

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
 
"if there's a steady paycheck involved, I'll believe anything you want me to "-ernie hudson in Ghostbusters
 
A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

I know what you`re thinking about,`
said Tweedledum: ` but it isn`t so, nohow.`

`Contrariwise,` continued Tweedledee,

Lewis Carroll​
