Dalek : But you have no weapons ! No defenses ! No plan !
The Doctor : Yeah ! And doesn’t that scare you to death ?

Hmm, two I use at work.
*History*
I have a yo-yo on my desk, mandatory for programming. A while ago my co-worker friend had a yo-yo on his desk. Asked him what it was used for and he explained that it takes his mind off of the "looping of ideas" for de-bugging and most of the time the answer hits him while entranced by doing tricks. Tried it a few days and it works (at least for me). So at my new job, I had to bring it in.
*Line I use*
You know, history shows that the yo-yo was used as a weapon for some tribes...
Another line I use:
"Sorry, so much time and so little to do."

Since I assign how much our technitions get paid from the mother company, and am responsible for backflagging our techs, I have a poster in my office from Despar inc. that reads "You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor". There is a picture of the great pyramids above the text 

God's in his heaven, All's right with the world


Some others:
I can only please one person each day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
I'm sorry, do I resemble your therapist?
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
