First Doctor
During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear.
Second Doctor
Oh yes, I can when I want to. And that's the point, really. I have to really want to, to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of the time they... they sleep in my mind and I forget. And so will you. Oh yes, you will. You'll find there's so much else to think about. To remember. Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing, that nobody in the universe can do what we're doing.
Third Doctor
A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.
Fourth Doctor
Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other, and that's it? The Daleks cease to exist? Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations, can live without fear, in peace, and never even know the word "Dalek"?
Fifth Doctor
That's the trouble with regeneration. You quite never know what you're going to get
Sixth Doctor
In all my travelling throughout the universe, I have battled against evil, against power-mad conspirators. I should have stayed here. The oldest civilisation: decadent, degenerate, and rotten to the core. Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us. Ten million years of absolute power. That's what it takes to be really corrupt.
Seventh Doctor
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.
Eight Doctor
I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.
Ninth Doctor
This is Emergency Programme One. Rose, now listen; this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing. We must be in danger, and I mean fatal. I'm dead, or about to die any second with no chance of escape. And that's okay. Hope it's a good death. But I promised to look after you, and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home. And I bet you're fussing and moaning now — typical! But hold on and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do: let the TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it; no one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on and the box will be buried. And if you wanna remember me, then you can do one thing, that's all, one thing. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life.
Tenth Doctor
There was a war. A Time War. The Last Great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks, for the sake of all creation. And they lost. We lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family. My friends. Even that sky. Oh, you should have seen it! That old planet... The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver, when they caught the light, every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came, a brilliant glow though the branches...
Eleventh Doctor
That's funny - I thought if you could hear me I could hang on somehow. Silly me; silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little... I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Cause it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box... Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you, big and little at the same time, brand new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would've had... Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond, and the days that never came... The cracks are closing, but they can't close properly until I'm on the other side. I don't belong here anymore. I think I'll skip the rest of the rewind... I hate repeats. Live well. Love Rory. Bye-bye, Pond.

FIFTH DOCTOR
Much better final lines than Ten's:
NINTH DOCTOR
and of course this:
ELEVENTH DOCTOR
Not a quote from the Doctor, but another good one:
TIM LATIMER
Fourth Doctor, from the Ark in Space:
My goodness, they certainly knew how to make baddies back then!
And he's still going on about it 6 regenerations later
10th Doctor, Utopia
Possibly the most asked question in DW History:
What are you Doing Here?
but
The Fifth Doctor
"There should have been another way"
"I'm a Time Lord... I walk in eternity"
Sarah -
"Doctor you're being childish"
Doctor -
"Well, of course I'm being childish! There's no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes..."
...and that's a piece of advice that I'm happy to follow!
You like guns don't you, guns are simple. Pull the trigger, end a life. Why don't you pull the trigger, why don't you end my life.
(or words to that effect.)
And then the Seventh Doctor mercilessly ripped into them:
'What a wonderful butler, he's so violent.' (Or to that effect sorry not at home to check.)
Caves of andronazi sixth doctor
'Change my dear and not a moment to soon.'
Blink tenth doctor
'Don't blink'
Fourth doctor multiple stories
'Would you like a jellybaby?'
BINRO: Heh....y-you believe it too??
UNSTOFFE: I know it for a fact. You see...I come from one of those other worlds.
BINRO: Y-you...
UNSTOFFE: I-I thought I should tell you, because one day - even here - in the future, men will turn to each other and say, "Binro was right."
Love that one too
Eighth doctor tv movie
'I'm half human on my mother's side'
"You are tired of life, but afraid of dying"
I knew the Cyber Leader was just imaging what it would be like to watch the sun go down whilst eating steak and chips with his cyber lover...
And nothing can ever beat Lady Adrasta's classic line: "Point the dog at the rock!"
My favourite line from the past eight years, all down to it's sheer audacity (and impeccable delivery).
The actual wording is even more ridiculous... "A well prepared Meal"
Cyberman: NO! we only eat poorly prepared meals!*
*didn't actually happen, sadly.
"Well, you're a beautiful woman, probably..." Always makes me
