Quotes- Please share your favorites...

I am hoping some of you will share with me your favorite quotes. I am working on a project where I need some really great quotes. I have tons I love. I'd like to get opinions and have options. While looking for one of my favorites "It is a poor thing to fear the inevitable" (actually trying to find out who said it first... I think it was Mark Twain- although I'm sure many before him thought it) I found this quote in orange. I liked it. (Then I started to ponder on it. Scott gets frustrated with my pondering. I do tend to ponder often and deeply. But I learned at church that pondering is actually a spiritual gift... I could still ease up a bit.) So after thinking on the orange quote it may not be the best quote. If everyone was never commenting or asking questions life would be -- dull, quite. Perhaps the quote is in reference to when we know better than to open our mouths and still do. I also think there are some who truly don't have a clue so we can't really use them in this rambling.

PLEASE tell me your favorite quotes!!! Pretty please???
