This is a favorite of mine too!  :o

I've always liked this one from Wilde: "I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself."

^ I've never believed Einstein said that and it's pretty much hearsay that he did (not really something you'd expect him to say).  I like to think that it is probably an altered version of Renan saying something like:

"it isn't the stars that give me the idea of infinity; it is man's stupidity"
