I collect and use quotes often.
I suppose one of my favorites is: "No one on their deathbed ever said 'if only I had spent more time in the office'".
A few others that are high on my list: - "Who is John Galt?" - "What we got here is failure to communicate." - "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. "Hit it!", - "Go ahead, make my day." - "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Ever since I saw that motorcycle video, "Norton Commander Transformer" I've been saying to myself, "I love the open road".

Not exactly a famous quote, but I've remembered this for years actually from a bumper sticker I saw.
Yes, I have a drinking problem, two hands and only one mouth!

Also like several from Monty Python...Oh, uh, well if we build a badger...
How about...Fat and stupid is no way to go through life son.(Animal House)

Here's some of my favorites. Some of them I may have snagged from here. :-)
"Today is a good day to die!" Lieutenant. Worf
"An ignorant man thinks he knows everything, a wise man knows he doesn't."
LIFE IS TOUGH.....TOUGHER IF YOU'RE STUPID. John Wayne
Tact is for those without enough wit for sarcasm.
I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem!
"I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe." - Steven Wright

This is what my wife actually said to me--
"I thought I married a sophisticated business man, but what I actually got was a redneck fisherman with muscle cars."
And I'm still married.

"You need to use your head when you buy a hat" My grandmother had one; "use your head for something besides a hat rack." She also had one; "Me and my brother know everything. Ask me any question."
