My own, or ones that I like? One that I particularly like, when it comes to the internet is by Oscar Wilde:

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

And then there's the paraphrasing of it from the film "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising":

"Only in concealing one's identity, can one truly be known. (Whatcha!)" - Brother Silence

 

[Doug McCrae]

"Treasures are not won by care and forethought but by swift slaying and reckless attack."

This is said by Yaris, one of the six Sea Lords who, with Elric's aid, attack the Melnibonéan capital, Imrryr, in Michael Moorcock's The Dreaming City in Science Fantasy #47 (1961). This novelette forms part of The Stealer of Souls, which appears in Appendix N of the AD&D 1e DMG.

I’m not a big fan of hers, but i think these words are truly wise and eternally relevant:

Colonel Tom Edwards : ...Why, a particle of sunlight can't even be seen or measured.

Eros : Can you see or measure an atom? Yet you can explode one. A ray of sunlight is made up of many atoms!

Jeff Trent : So what if we do develop this Solanite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now.

Eros : [with disgust] Stronger. You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

Jeff Trent : That's all I'm taking from you! [pistol-whips Eros upside the head]

[Snarf Zagyg]

When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and crying like the passengers in his bus.
