How about some of Churchill's quotes. Some of them were quite frankly very cutting.
And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning I shall be sober.
* to a lady who accused him of being drunk
This is the sort of pedantry up with which I will not put."
* (Purportedly upon being accused of ending his sentances with prepositions. Had he said "This is the sort of pedantry I will not put up with.", he would have committed the same offense he was accused of.)
"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."
* (But WC's black cat, Nelson, is reputed to have had a chair at Cabinet.)

If youre ever caught talking to yourself jump point to a chair and yell he started it, that way they won't think youre crazy.
If youre ever asked to walk a mile in another mans shoes, do so not only do you have another pair of shoes but youre a mile away from the man.

Thats Churchill? someone told me it was Einstein.
I was also told it was:
"Your Drunk!"
"I may be drunk, but in the morning, I will be sober. But you, you will always be ugly."
"The best way to have something named after you is to be the first to discover it, or the first to die from it."
This was said to one of my mates.
"King, your drunk again?!"
"No, I'm just exhausted coz I've been up all night drinking."

my fav quote comes from a book by russel banks called 'rule of the bone'.. awesome book by the way.
"Up to you, bone."
its extremely simple, but its something ive come to live by, just because i hate making decisions for someone else. i think everyone should make their own choices.. ill be glad to give my opinion, but ill never tell anyone what to do..

Just cause its in my head at the mo, "As long as we have opposable thumbs we will fight you!"
Taken from the new GTA, Zeros strand just after shooting up the mini planes with the mini-gun.
It has a resonance that cries out to my battle computer game enemies through out my life

My friend said about the stereotypes of sex with hippies, he's the best!
"There's not really any hippy stereotyping with sex, but I'd like to in a combi van, while on acid, with lots of flowers around"
Funniest quote ever in my books.

Life is a fatal disease and we're all dying from it, one day at a time.
At an elegant dinner party, Lady Astor once leaned across the table to remark, "If you were my husband, Winston, I'd poison your coffee."
Churchill immediately replied: "And if you were my wife, I'd drink it."
Don't let the bastards get you down
Al sal kom rik (I think) = All will come right = No worries
Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I can beat the world into submission. -- I think I made that one up but I might have heard it somewhere
Lots of Pratchett ones
There's loads more that I can think of but I'd add them at some point

I can't be bothered going through my quotes to find my favourite ones, yet I have been bothered to go through this entire thread, and after the teacher ones, I would like to post some thing my International Studies teacher said:
John: Why is Abraham Lincoln so famous?
Teacher: He has a beard.
It looks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, but it's not a duck, it's a part of China (he's talking about Taiwan in case you couldn't figure it out! lol!)
and the BEST one!
When talking about a free lecure coming up:
Luke: Do I have to go?
teacher: no Luke, you can sit on the oval and masturbate for all I care!
there were more, I just can't remember them!
