There are so many… An absolute favourite? I’m not sure, but this one always makes me smile:
“Do you know what this is? Hmm? No, I can see you do not. You have that vacant look in your eyes, which says hold my head to your ear, you will hear the sea!” - Londo Molari
This is also good:

Against that power tyrants and dictators cannot stand.” - G’Kar

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

And this one, from my boss this morning.
A user sent an email that their mailbox is nearly full, could we please give him more storage.
He replied:
“I have increased the storage of your mailbox. In the future please use small letters* and black and white images to save space.”
Had our whole office in fits of laughter.
- lower case, in German, literally “small letters”.

And calamity in human life
Are all made of thoughts
And imaginings.
