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.

Nothing can be pleasing which is not also becoming.
Our minds are like our stomachs; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetites.
When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.
A liar should have a good memory.
Nature herself has never attempted to effect great changes rapidly.
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Though ambition itself be a vice, yet it is often times the cause of virtues.
When we cannot hope to win, it is an advantage to yield.
That laugther costs too much which is purchased by the sacrifice of decency.
