You teach people how to treat you.
One of the wiser quotes.

Ooh! If he changes the Witch-king scene, count me in the lynch mob!
"Mithril! All folks desired it. It's beauty was like to silver, save the beauty of mithril does not tarnish or grow dim. It can be beaten like copper and polished like glass." There's more, but I forget it.

Good one, Baby-K!!
I heard a funny take-off of the serious idea of don't just give people hand-outs, but teach them a skill so they can support themselves. The serious one went something like "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish, and he'll feed himself for a lifetime". The funny one was "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish, and he'll spend all day in a boat with a six pack of beer and come home with nothing!"

And here's another one:
"Build a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and you keep him warm for a lifetime".

My favourite quote is currently residing in my sig... However, there is one more.
"It's as mundane as plaid bondage pants!" I dunno if this is conceited, but I said it. I don't mean it to be sarcastic, because once you think about it, all the 'punks' are wearing them.

"Your village called. Their idiot is missing."
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was making the world believe he doesn't exist." "Dream as though you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow." I love that last one. Would you believe I got all three of these off of bathroom walls?

Ooh, here's one I just found, by tano (it's about a year old):
"I pledge allegiance to Queen Galadriel in her mighty state of Lothlorien, and to the Republic of Elven Bands, one nation free of orcs, and enough lembas and a little miruvor for all!"
