I would quote from The Holy Book of Fairies, but every time I do someone reports my answer because they don't like hearing quotes from a non Christan book.
I have no favorite quotes from any other religion or doctrine.
Well, I don't know if it really is in there but maybe that one that says something like "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Gospel According to Saint Luke
Chapter 8
5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it. 8 And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. 10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. 13 Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit. 15 But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

"Jesus wept". I use it frequently, especially when reading questions in the Religion and Spirituality section.
In all seriousness, I'm not a Christian or even close, but I do like the Navy Hymn (also known as "Eternal Father Strong to Save".) It was played at JFK's funeral.

I especially love this one:
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Zechariah 7:9-10
"Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart."
I always liked that one. And this.
Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."

"The time has come for people of reason to say "Enough is Enough!" Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's devisive and dangerous."
--Richard Dawkins--
"The evidence for evolution is so compelling that the only way to save
the creation theory is to assume that God deliberately planted
enormous quantities of evidence to make it look as if evolution had
happened." -- Richard Dawkins--
"Religion is an insult to human dignity, without it you would have Good people doing Good things and Evil people doing Evil things.....for Good people to do Evil things, it takes religion."

Lao-Tzu from the Tao Te Ching:
“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.”
If there is a god, this seems like the only rational explanation as to why he won't intervene to stop the famines and wars. As His involvement would teach us nothing.
