My two favorites

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.”
- Mark Twain

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. - Mark Twain

[Doug Loss]

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."

"I never can think of Judas Iscariot without losing my temper. To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature, Congressman."

"Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can."

"All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity."
