Depends what you sort of quotes you are referring to.... I have alot of quotes I love....
Lets see:
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
A friend is a second self.
Aristotle
Death is not the worst than can happen to men.
Plato (I totally agree with this one... there are worse things)
God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.
Voltaire
These are a few I have hanging on my door.... um I was looking for a place where you can find more and found this website:

dont bite the hand that feeds u.
sticks and stones may brake my bones but names will neva hurt me
dont throw stones in glass houses
dont do to ppl wat u wouldnt want ppl to do to u
if u get knocked down get back up again
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing
nessesity is the mother of invention
he who hesitates is lost
its an ill wind that blows nobody any good
2 heads is better than 1
a problem shared is a problem halved
there many a slip twixt cup and lip
look b4 u leap
penny wise and pound foolish
in for a penny in for a pound
its better to be safe than sorry
let sleeping dogs lie
a still tougne makes a wise head
never let the sun go down on ur wrath
be sure ur sins will find u out
if at 1st u dont succed try try again
its better to giv than recieve
hell has no fury like a womans scorned
half a loaf is better than none
absence makes the heart grow fonder
dont spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar
snake that shed his skin is still a snake
no point shuting the stable door after the horse has bolted
once bitten twice shy
least said soonest meanded
oh wat a tangled web we weave wen 1st we practice to decieve
as ye sow so shall ye reap
can take a horse to water but u cant make it drink
dont judge a man til u walked all day in his shoes
no fool like an old fool
no news is good news
still waters run deep to many cooks spoils the broth
he who laughs last laughs hardest
hope these of of some interset

How about three of them?...
- "It was perhaps one of the most significant conceptual breakthroughs in human thought to recognize that the social cost of suppressing "error" is far greater than the damage unchecked "error" can do when men are free to refute it. It is cause for great sadness that our European brethren have stepped back into the mentality of the witch hunt, forcing their citizens into exile and making them prisoners of conscience."
- "Live with honor, ride with truth. Be friendly to others. But always carry a gun on your side and a knife in your boot because there are those that do not feel the same as this."

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.(my cousin)
You watch those nature documentaries
on the cable?
See the one about lions?
Got this lion.
He's the king of the jungle.
Huge mane, out to here.
He's laying down under a tree,
in the middle of Africa.
He's so big. He's so hot.
He doesn't want to move.
The little lion cubs,
they start messing with him.
Biting his tail, biting his ears.
He doesn't do anything.
The lioness, she starts messing with him...
coming over, making trouble. Still nothing.
Now, the other animals notice this...
and they start to move in, the jackals.
Hyenas.
They're barking at him, laughing at him.
They nip his toes
and eat the food that's in his domain.
They do this...
then they get closer and bolder,
till one day...
that lion gets up
and tears the **** out of everybody...
runs like the wind,
eats everything in his path.
'Cause every once in a while,
the lion has to show the jackals...
who he is.
It's too late to be scared. It's time to kill.(Christopher Walken)

Maybe not philosophical, but interesting.
"Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite."
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)
Even more interesting considering the speaker.

"You cannot outwit fate by standing on the sidelines and place little side bets about the outcome of life. Either you wade in and risk everything to play the game, or you don't play at all. And if you don't play, you can't win." (Matthew Farrell :P)
