Below are some of the saying's of Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) and their sources.I thought it would be great to include something on this great individual.

"Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies." (widely attributed to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh))

"Conduct yourself in this world, as if you are here to stay forever; prepare for eternity as if you have to die tomorrow." (Bukhari)

"It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words." (Bukhari)

"Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns wood." (Abu Daud)

You are welcome greekboy3000.
I thought why not try to bring in more Famous people rather then discussing only a few and give it a International feel.
Mariantionette started this trend by posting about Omar khayyam.
Not many might have read his work.
All credit to Mariantionette.I hope others do bring to our notice about other Famous people and their work.
