Here are a few of our favorite lines from Tom Hanks.

Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump):
"My mama always said, life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Jimmy Dugan (A League of Their Own):
"Are you crying? There's no crying. There's no crying in baseball."

Jim Lovell (Apollo 13):
"Houston, we have a problem."

Josh Baskin (Big):
"I wish I were big."

Chuck Noland (Cast Away):
"I would rather take my chances out there on the ocean than stay here and die."

I think I like this one the best.

"I can't say that it's in tune with the way that I feel that America should be going."

-- Tom Hanks, referring to the Bush administration, while attending the Venice Film Festival, which opened with Hanks's film "The Terminal."
