Worlds Most Famous Quotes?

Question

I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable about quotes. What are some quotes that everyone should know? Who are they by, and what is some background information? What are some basic interpretations or contexts of the quotes? I don't care who their by, or when or where they were written, as long as they are famous or historical.

Thanks!
