Them belly full but we hungry
(paraphrase) from Abe Lincoln:
Q: how many legs does a dog have if we call the tail a 'leg?'
A: Four. Calling a tail a 'leg' doesn't make it one.
I often think of this quote when I read news stories about the 'stimulus' package.
Another good one from Lincoln, useful if you happen to have an arrogant friend named Todd:
(paraphrase) One 'd' was enough for God, but the Todds [wife's maiden name was Todd] had to have two.

With searching come loss and the presence of absence
Take it easy. And if it comes easy, take it twice.

J. Vigil:
1) If you don't live right you can't run right.
2) If you didn't run today you don't deserve to eat today.
It is one of the strange ironies of this strange life that those who work the hardest, who subject themselves to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve a goal, are the happiest men. When you see 20 or 30 men line up for a distance race in some meet, don’t pity them, don’t feel sorry for them. Better envy them instead. – Brutus Hamilton, University of California Track and Field Coach for 33 years

Fat chicks are just skinny girls with no self control.
I wouldn't say I have an all time favourite quote but I do have one funny one.
I was watching cars/wheels driven by rappers. One Rapper, after showing his 'well hooked up car' said these words; "If you ain't rollin' right, you ain't rappin' right".
One of my favourite quotes, whose origin isn't clear to me has to do with one of these two:-
"This is the kind of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put".
Or
"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put".
