Most of my favourites are from Tolkien. Including:
The Lord of the Rings, page 73:
He deserves death.
Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be to eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

It seems to be a good rule to live by

I especially like the Gun-Control quote sections.

Oh, and Despair, Inc (www.despair.com/) is also great. They are arguably the source for that "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"...

Some of my favorite quotes:

And a favorite...
