My favorite has always been Karl Marx:

"Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough." (To his housekeeper, who urged him to tell her his last words so she could write them down for posterity.)
1883

Splendid choice. Some people insist on waiting, hahaha; whether that be asking or telling. For me, that inspires the thought of always striving to assert myself to the present.

My favorite last words are usually "Hey ya'll - watch this!", then we have a Darwin award winner. :)

My second favorite are usually used by me: "No hablo ingles!", followed by a walk away.

I have two as well:

"What's the worst that could happen?" usually followed by a loud BOOM....

And of course the one we've ALL experienced:

"Oh no, we're doing fine! Everything is paid for, the kids are healthy, we actually have some savings going again..." usually followed by all the appliances going on the fritz, the car breaks down and then your entire family catches a cold...

"I'm John Lennon."
- John Lennon, after being shot, in response to a policeman's question, "Do you know who you are?"

And a funny one:
James D. French is on his way to the electric chair. He tells a newspaper reporter:
"I have a terrific headline for you... 'French Fries'."
