Mine is, "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt."
Not sure who said it......if you know...please tell, me. I'd like to know.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." Siddartha

"I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul."
From the poem Invictus:
--------
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley

"It is better to stay silent and let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
-Abraham Lincoln
That's my favorite also, but I do like :"To love someone unconditionally, you must hate them at least once"
