I have many favorites, but this quote in particular is one that no sensible person can argue with:

"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs, is to be ruled by evil men." -- Plato

My favorite work oriented one is - "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." I can't recall if it was Mark Twain or Will Rogers....

My guess is that Bill Clinton's favorite quote is from the Pink Floyd song, "Dogs," from the "Animals" album.

"You have to be trusted

By the people that you lie to...

So that when they turn their backs on you,

You'll get the chance to put the knife in"

Mark

If movie quotes count...

As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.

Scarlett O'Hara, "Gone With the Wind"
