Ooh, I just remembered something good

JUMBA: Oh come on, what are you so afraid of? *fires plasma cannon*
blam, blam, blam!
STITCH: *some alien speak*
JUMBA: I'll put you back together again! I'll make you taller, and not so fluffy!

STITCH: *screaming* I LIKE FLUFFY!!!

Not one of the weak Earth waterers would dare to water a plant if it did not wish it. But on Gor, on Gor it is different. Here, those who wish to water will water their plants as they wish. But strangely, I feel myself most plantlike when I am at the mercy of a strong Gorean master, who may water me as he pleases.
-- Houseplants of Gor

Q: Blasphemy! You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something. The bottom line is, your life ended about five minutes ago... under the inept ministrations of Dr. Beverly Crusher.
Jean-Luc Picard: No. I am not dead because I refuse to believe that the afterlife is run by you. I refuse to believe the universe is that poorly designed!
Star Trek, TNG, "Tapestry"

Came across this while studying the other day:

One to me is loss or gain,
One to me is fame or shame,
One to me is pleasure, pain.

Bhagavad-Gila, XII

I don't know, it kind of stuck with me. I can recite it by memory already for no reason other than it's kind of a neat little rhyme.

Another Old West one: after Wild Bill Hickock lost his favorite pocketwatch in a poker game, the winner boasted he would walk downtown to show it off, to which Bill replied,
"Only if dead men can walk."

[Cogidubnus]

Soul:

O, WHO shall from this dungeon raise
A soul enslaved so many ways?
With bolts of bones, that fettered stands
In feet, and manacled in hands;
Here blinded with an eye, and there
Deaf with the drumming of an ear;
A soul hung up, as 'twere, in chains
Of nerves, and arteries, and veins;
Tortured, besides each other part,
In a vain head, and double heart?

-A Dialogue between the Soul and Body

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

"Golden boy with feet of clay
Let me help you on your way
A proper push will take you far
But what a clumsy lad you are"

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliver. If Donaldson got the poem from somewhere else (it's presented as the character thinking it) I don't know where he got it from.

"No!  Put that down!"
--The Mekon, in the video game of Dan Dare, which was wonderfully faithful to the original 1950s comics.

One quote that I remember from Xenogears... when Bart was fighting with Id in the desert, the Yggadrasil comes to his rescue and jumps a dune and lands on Id, but then Id picks up the ship from underneath with one hand.

Id: That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... Take it back!
*Id throws the Yggadrasil at Bart*

Jon-Tom: "Mudge, you're incorrigible."
Mudge: "Can't be, mate. I ain't never met the lady."
Jon-Tom: "Lady? What lady?"
Mudge: "Why, your theoretical Miss Corrigible, o' cource."

-Chorus Skating (A spellsinger adventure) by Alan Dean Foster

[Azlan]

"Idealism is what precedes experience."
-David T. Wolf

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."
-John F. Kennedy

This one is good for a lot of people on this forum:

"After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut."
-Will Rogers

[King Of Hearts]

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms in not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.
It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.
It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
-Eisenhower
