A few more good ones from Mark Twain; the man had a real knack for aphorisms...
"Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
"Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty."
“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
“We all are ignorant, just about different things.”

Some great actual quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt:
“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”
"If you are never bored, and you will never be boring."
“A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally,
who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things,
and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life,
knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”
and probably her most-quoted one of all:
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”
