Not-so-serious:
"Food goes in here"
"Beer, the cause and answer to all of life's problems"
"To be loved, you have to be nice to others EVERYDAY!. To be hated, you don't have to do squat."
"You put the beer in the coconut and throw the can away."
"The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother! I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!"
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
"Just because I don't care doesn't mean I'm not listening."

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. - Twain
So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed? - Hunter S. Thompson
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say an uncommon-place thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles... - Jack Karouac
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life. - Mohammad Ali
There are a lot more- I find them at www.quotegeek.com . I try to find a new one every day.
I really love how you can find similar messages throughout history, and from all walks of life, but the best is when someone hits you with a statement that is truly profound in it's application to the given situation. That kind of moment can't really be searched on the internet.

My personal favorite:
Power is nothing without control
My own that I've seen being quoted some times:
When humans have power, they seek to use it
Others:
Only the dead have seen the end of war
Life is not how many breathes you take, but how many moments that take your breathe away
In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is the king
If the whole human race lay in one grave, the epitaph on its headstone might well be: `It seemed a good idea at the time.'
Be the change you want to see in the world (I think this one is Gandhi)
Sorry don't remember who these quotes are quoted from, just had them in a Word file on the computer
