Almost every famous person at least once in their life said something that was remembered by the society, and considered meaningful, important or just funny. Those quotations can be mentioned in various situations. Often they are used in speeches or in a humorous way. In order to find some of them grub around.

There would be no great men if there were no little ones.
Woe be to him that reads but one book.
You must lose a fly to catch a trout.
The best mirror is an old friend.
Living well is the best revenge.
Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.
He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
Every mile is two in winter.
