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.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent.
Let each man pass his days in that wherein his skill is greatest.
