"Bubble bubble, toil and trouble."
Correct quote: "Double double, toil and trouble." - William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
Notes: It is worth mentioning that the line following this quote reads "Fire burn and cauldron bubble"; if the first line had indeed read "Bubble, bubble (etc)", the second line would sound redundant. If this is kept in mind, accidental misquotations can be avoided.

Shakespeare's Macbeth. It's the 3 witches around a cauldron pot in Act 1.
The quote is actually, "Double double toil and trouble. Fires burn and cauldrons bubble."

It's a quote from Macbeth, the title of a movie by the Olsen twins and was used in a song in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Double, Double, toil and trouble.

It specifically comes from a speech given by the three witches in Shakespeare's "Macbeth".
