Emerson is better: Your conformity explains nothing. Act singlely and what you have done singlely will justify you.

Al Bundy: Women...can't live with them, end of story.
 
Anyway, I was going to go for a quote by one of my favorite authors, but he isn't really that famous. As for someone famous, one of the most quotable men ever is definitely Mark Twain: The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life--hence it is a valuable possession to him.

EXACTLY, Mr. Twain, exactly.
 
A few of my favs:

Be who you are
And say what you feel
Because those who matter don't mind
And those who mind don't matter

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
--Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
