After seeing this post by Kevin Drum I decided to go through the Quote Randomizer and find some quotes that I like. Of the two or three million quotes that I read, these are the ones that appealed to me the most :

The cost of living is going up and the chance of living is going down.
Flip Wilson (1933 – 1998)

A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945), radio address, Oct. 26, 1939

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress.
Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Bill Cosby (1937 – )

The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid.
Art Spander

It’s kinda lame that I never found a religious one that appealed to me, so here’s a few from the quote site’s religion category that I liked :

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821 – 1890)

A cult is a religion with no political power.
Tom Wolfe (1931 – )

Like I mentioned, I read a lot of quotes before I found the ones I like because 99% of the sayings that are considered “quotable” are complete crap. The vast majority of the quotes are either by-the-numbers cleverness like “Life sucks, but it’s better than the alternative” or saccharine, religious, and/or inspirational drivel like “God’s greatest gift is imagination”. Blech!
