From one of my favourites, Abe Lincoln:
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Mr. O had a quality quip at either the 2010 or 2011 Correspondent's Dinner (I forget which year):
"What a week. As some of you heard the state of Hawaii released my official long-form birth certificate. Hopefully, this puts all doubts to rest. But just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight I'm prepared to go a step further. Tonight, for the first time, I am releasing my official birth video.'' [The screens plays the scene from Disney's The Lion King when Mufasa, atop a cliff, lifts Simba up as the other animals in the savannah look on].
After the video played, he said this:
"I want to make clear to the Fox News table that was a joke. That was not my real birth video. That was a children's cartoon. Call Disney if you don't believe me, they have the original long-form version.''
Funny stuff.
Reagan had some funny ones too:
''Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.''
''Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.''

That Reagan one is good.
I can't believe I didn't put in my favourite Licoln quote. Possibly my favourite quote of all time:
People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."
Ronald Reagan, President of the United States c. 1985

I now have a new favourite quote. I can't stop laughing after reading this:
"To me, 10- and 11-year-olds do bad things. They throw rocks through windows. They shoot BB guns at people's cars. They hit people with sticks; they set a cat on fire. Those are things that children do..."
-Stevens County, WA Prosecuting Attorney Timothy Rasmussen
Your kid hit people with stick and set the cat on fire? Relax! That's just what kids do.
