Oooh, I like Twain too...here's another good one of his:
"Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it."
Or good old Ben Franklin:
"I have six honest serving men, they taught me all I knew. They're names are what and where and when, and why and how and who."
And we can't forget Heinlein either, (ripped from my brother's sig over at EB):
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

A few from Spike Milligan:
"All men are cremated equal."
"L-I-M-P pronounced limp."
"Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion."
"When I look back, the fondest memory I have is not really of the Goon Show. It is of a girl called Julia with enormous breasts."
No idea where this one is from, but it cracks me up:
"Boycott shampoo! Use real poo instead."
MuFu.

A few of the quotes I've collected:
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction"
- Albert Einstein
"There are no such things as stupid questions, just stupid people."
- Mr. Garrison, South Park
"Marriage is leading the statistic in the cause of divorce."
"A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history
-- with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila."
- Mitch Ratliffe
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self."
"God Help us when our lives are in the hands of engineers."
- Ian Malcom, Jurassic Park
Love the last one.

A few quotes from my university (roughly translated):
Hannu, my former math teacher:
"I got bad news, the world isn't linear, it's highly non-linear."
"You don't need drugs to change the reality; you only need to redefine the dot product."
Leif Kursowskij, one of my former programming teachers:
"Never testrun anything that has passed the compiling stage."
"...return/char doesn't eat anything, like a vegetarian on a kebab restaurant."
"We are in house C, expelled beyond all properness, among a bunch of chemists."
Bluefish, talking about prolog:
"It's called logic programming, but it feels almost as if there was a woman on the other side of the screen."
Tim:
"Think? Then what's the purpose of prolog?"
Trekkie to a doorkeeper:
"For fucks sake, you can't even Laplace transform."
Wilper:
"There's always another line to code."
Wilper: "Mazarin is NULL."
Translated: "I have eaten my cookie."
