About the mother of Homer’s half-brother, the carny/hooker:
“She was a beautiful girl and she would do something for me that your mother would never do: have sex for money!”
<followed by the girl kissing one of the throwing balls and winking at him>
“The pictures… they’re… coming… alive!!!”
same scene, just a little later…
“Finsher her! Finisher her!!”
Naked and on medication with bedpan on head:
“Look at me! I’m Speedy Alka Seltzer!”
“You know, your mom was a demon in the sack!”
“Bring on Sha-Na-Na!”

And earlier, using the bedpan as a drum:

**At the Springfield Airshow, Educating Bart and Lisa on the History of Aviation:
“That’s the Wright Brothers’ plane. At Kitty Hawk in 1903, Charles Lindbergh flew it fifteen miles on a thimbleful of corn oil. Singlehandedly won us the Civil War, it did.” **
Wow Grandpa. How come you know so much about American History?
“I pieced it together, mostly from sugar packets.”
and to reprise the OP, what I thought when I first saw the title…

Abe’s advise to a young Homer
"Son, you’re as stupid as a mule and twice as ugly. So if a stranger offers you a ride, I’d say take it! "
and
“Eh…you never know what you’re capable of. I never thought I could shoot down a German plane, but last year I proved myself wrong”
Homer: You’re cute as a bug’s ear.
Lisa: Fathers have to say that stuff!
Homer: [sees Grampa walk pass] Dad, am I cute as a bug’s ear?
Grampa: [poking head in] No, you’re homely as a mule’s butt!
Homer: [to Lisa] There, see?
“You’re nothing but a hoochie! Hoochie, hoochie, hoochie!”

Not to throw a wet blanket on this, but never forget that Abe declared:
“I was the one who canceled Star Trek !”

Grandpa talking about WWII.
“and that is how I recieved the Iron Cross”
Also WWII:
“He’s a Nazi! Get him!” - encouraging his buddies on PT-109 to attack Lt. John Kennedy, after hearing him rehearse his “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech.
“…to make a long story short… is a phrase whose origins are long and rambling.”
I don’t think this one’s been posted, but this and the apple pie quotes are probably my favorites: (may not be exact wording here)
Grampa comes out of an outhouse and says
“This elevator only goes to the basement, and someone made a real mess down there.”
