A few of my favourite Goldwynisms:

 

    "Why did you name him Sam? Every Tom, Dick and Harry is named Sam!"
     
    "Go see that turkey for yourself, and see for yourself why you shouldn’t see it."
     
    "I hate a man who always says yes to me. When I say no I like a man who also says no."
     
    “Give me a couple of years, and I’ll make that actress an overnight success.”

 

There are so many more, they're ordered by length at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Goldwyn#Goldwynisms
