I doubt I can pick just one. Here are some of my favorites:

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - Voltaire
"History is a pack of lies we play on the dead." - Voltaire
"A witty saying proves nothing." - Voltaire
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too." - Voltaire
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein
"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." - Albert Einstein
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
"To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself." - Albert Einstein

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them." - Albert Einstein

Yeah, but none have been famous for intellect or insight. :)
