I don't have time for for the whole thread so I don't know if you got other replies. Your quote from Woody Allen originally came from Groucho Marx.

Not my all-time favorite but pretty good...
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
-Patrick Henry

Another favorite Eisenhower quote (vastly underrated as a President IMO):
"Take your job seriously but don't take yourself seriously."
To: Roy Tucker
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely...his sly whispers heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears to be no traitor; he speaks in the accents familar to his victims...and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night...to infect the body politic so that it can no longer resist." - Marcus Tullius Cicero ( 106--43 B.C. )

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"

My current favorite was found right here, on one of the many LOTR threads! Sorry that I don't remember who to attribute it to...
"Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."--Gandalf the Grey
"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."--Smaug the Dragon
