According to Cordell Hull, one must never insult an alligator until you’ve crossed the river. Well, I say it is nonsense, not if you can insult it to the extent that it sulks in shame! Here then are some insults which might well do the trick.
“I could eat alphabet soup and shit better lyrics.” ~ Johnny Mercer
You grow on people....so does cancer.
Would you like some cheese to go with that whine?
This is an excellent time for you to become a missing person.
Whatever it is that is eating you, it must be suffering horribly.
If what you don't know can't hurt you, she's practically invulnerable.
You are such a smart-arse, I bet you could sit on a tub of ice cream and tell me what flavour it is.
“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Dear Oscar, my, you dare to open up a can of worms! I can already see the 'Yo Mama'-quotes flying around...
Oh, and while we are all being absolutely anal here, the Haitian proverb about the crocodile, states that one should not insult the MOTHER alligator, until after you have crossed the river.
My contribution is not so much insulting quotes, but rather quotes about the art of insult.
The first human being who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization. Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939) The point of quotations is that one can use another's words to be insulting. Amanda Cross Think twice before you speak, and then you may be able to say something more insulting than if you spoke right out at once. Evan Esar (1899 - 1995), Esar's Comic Dictionary
The way to procure insults is to submit to them: a man meets with no more respect than he exacts. William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830) If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks. Steve Pavlina, How to Win an Argument, 08-31-05
And finally, my favorite... He who allows himself to be insulted, deserves to be. Pierre Corneille (1606 - 1684)
