Not sure if this Aldo Leopold quote has landed on here but it’s my favorite quote of all time.

“It must be poor life that achieves freedom from fear.”
 
"Not my circus, not my monkey."

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it."

"Hold on tightly, let go lightly."

Altered ancient Chinese proverb.
 
"Your children's children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands." "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

Nikita Khrushchev in 1959
