Ok, I have two (kinda cheating)

"Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please, eliminate three. P.S. I am not a crackpot." -Abe Simpson

"Remember the time when he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why'd I have the bowl, Bart? Why'd I have the bowl?" -Milhouse

Sorry, I can resist as I think of more and am just laughing to myself

"Man, I'm too drunk to drive. Wait a minute, I'm drunk, I shouldn't listen to myself" -Homer

"I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows" -Bart
 
Marge offering British English to American English translations to Lisa:

"...and botulism is called steak and kidney pie."
 
"Your theory of a donut shaped universe is intriguing, Homer. I may have to steal it". -- Stephen Hawking
 
Here’s to alcohol, the cause of — and solution to — all life’s problems. -Homer
 
Homer to Marge, reading the label on the bottle of pills he found and decided to try.

"But Marge, you don't know, maybe I'm not getting enough e-stro-gen"
 
Pretty much anything grampa Simpson says here, like "My story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say 'dickety' because the Kaiser had stolen our word 'twenty'."

You don't like your job, you don't strike. You go in every day and do it really half-assed. ...
 
Homer: [shows into the mirror] Hi, Mr. Burns! You want your coffee now?
Burns: Uh, no. I'm making it myself! [takes a coffeepot, rattles it] Hear that? The percolations are imminent! No need to come in. Cease your ingress!

Homer walks in later, to see Burns surrounded by coffee, sacks and beans spilled almost everywhere.

Burns: Stay back Homer, approach no further, coffee's already made. I stomped the beans myself.
Homer: Uh, well, can I at least drive you home, Mr. Burns? It's 5:00.
Burns: No! I thought, uh, I thought I'd chauffeur myself this evening. Yes, that's what I thought. How difficult could it be? I'm sure the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and which is the deceleratrix, hmm?

(from "Homer The Smithers")

Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?
Homer: Yeah, but faster!

"So y = r cubed over 3. And if you determine the rate of change in this curve correctly, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. ... Don't you get it, Bart? Differential dy = 3 r squared dr over 3, or r squared dr, or r dr r." - Bart's teacher at the Enriched Learning Center for Gifted Children

Lisa: I'm studying for the Math Fair. If I win I'll bring home a protractor.
Homer: Too bad we don't live on a farm.

"They have internet on computers now?"

Useless trivia: did you know I have never watched a single episode of Simpsons?

It is not a quote per se, but I love the episode where Homer makes a grill for Lisa...or at least tries to.

I die laughing everytime...my favorite lines are:
"Le grill, what the hell is that?"
"Why is life so hard?!? Why must I fail at every attempt at masonry?"
and
his battle cry at the end with the umbrella :)

There's a restaurant I drive by on occasion called Grille 26 and I always think of that Simpsons quote when I see their logo.

LOL! I love that one. I think I still feel that way around a woman I'm REALLY attracted to! :-p It reminds me of some of Bill Cosby's lines in his old routines. :)

Captain Tenille: "Ah, Simpson, you're like the son I never had."

Homer: "And you're like the father I never visit."

The whole specious argument - magic rock thing.

"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

"Eat around the banana, dad. It's just empty vitamins."

"The human wang is a beautiful thing!"

(Of Flander's wife): "...the wife has a thing for me, but she hides it behind a mask of low- key hostility".

Homer, advising his son Bart:
"Don't try, son. If you don't try, you can't fail!"

Sideshow Bob Roberts, in addition to being the greatest Simpson's episode ever written, gave us the series' greatest quote (from Sideshow Bob's mayoral campaign attack ad)...

Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons.
Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob, a man twice convicted of attempted murder.
Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for mayor.
