My favorite one is The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. by Socrates, or As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
It means that recognizing that you don't know it all and that there are many things in this world to learn makes you truly wise. There are many people in this earth that arrogantly claim that they know it all and put others down because they think they lack intelligence, when the reality is that the person is the true ignorant. When you accept you don't know it all but you are willing to learn the unknown then that makes you truly wise.
What's your favorite one?

I think you've answered your own question and it's a very good answer but I like Descarte, "I think therefore I am" Which is the beginning of self awarenes, self-consciousness and it reminds me of Genesis "in the beginning was the word and the word was I AM"

When a true genius appears, to walk the earth among you, by this sign you may know him: that all dunces shall be in confederacy against him.

I'd always thought Socrates was know for saying "You want me to drink what?" but regardless. Let's see now, favorite eh? Chairman Mao, "Power comes out the barrel of a gun." seems to hold true. I'll choose that one.

it's better getting 50% of something than 100% of nothing
meaning it's better to have something than nothing
