As corny as this sounds, it really is an impossible question! Here are a few:
"True hope is swift and flies with swallow's wings ;
Kings it makes gods and meaner creatures kings."
Richard III Act 5 Scene 2
"Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
Hamlet Act 2 Scene 2
"For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich;
And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds,
So honour peereth in the meanest habit.
What is the jay more precious than the lark,
Because his fathers are more beautiful?"
The Taming of the Shrew Act 4 Scene 3
"O God! I could be bounded
in a nutshell and count myself
a king of infinate space,
were it not that I have bad dreams"
Hamlet Act 2 Scene 2
But 'tis a common proof,
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round.
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.
Julius Caesar Act 2 Scene 1

"First, we kill all the lawyers."
The reasons are (1) I was a legal secretary for 16 years, and worked for the court and the attorney general's office before that. (2) It is actually in favor of lawyers, because it is spoken by someone who is planning an illegal takeover and so he figures the victims will not be able to restore their rights if they kill the lawyers.
It's a legal secretary's sense of humor.

Great question!
"Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow."
Romeo and Juliet
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date". Hamlet
Sorry i couldn"t resist writing two quotes.

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
These are pearls that were his eyes
Nothing survives but that doth suffer a sea change
into somthing rich and strange
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Hark! I hear them now
Ding dong dell
The Tempest - probably not quoted entirely accurately but I always found it spooky and wonderful...

Heres a few
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
Shakespere
"True understanding is
deeper in meaning than in mere
words and is important for its result,
not preety rhetoric. Those who can
verbalize their happiness have little
happiness to speak of. My true love
has grown so much that I can't tell
even half of it in words."
- Juliet, in Romeo And Juliet
by William Shakespere.

Something about a fishmonger and get thee to a nunery, I can't remember the whole quote, as it was many, many years ago that I read the play. It was from Hamlet though, and it was about his mother hoppin in the sack with another guy shortly after his fathers death. Basically calling her a whore.
