My two favorite flavor texts are Last Word from Darksteel, and Raging Goblin.
Last Word: "Someday, someone will best me. But it won't be today, and it won't be you."
Raging Goblin: He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
I even made a custom playmat that had the artwork of Glimpse the Unthinkable with Raging Goblins Flavor text. So those are my two favs :)

Also each of the Nephilim from Guildpact had some cool flavor text.

Fortunately, hill giants have large blind spots in which a human can easily hide. Unfortunately, these blind spots are beneath the bottoms of their feet.
- Hill Giant, 10th Core

Slow and steady may not always win the race, but at least it doesn't end up splattered on the walls.
- Overeager Apprentice, Odyssey

They're got claes as long as your arm. And they're grouchy. Really, Really, grouchy.
- Grizzly Bears. 7th Core

Don't worry about provoking grizzly bears; they come that way.
- Grizzly Bears, Portal

Don't try to outrun one of Dominaria's grizzlies; it'll catch you, knock you down, and eat you. Of course, you could run up a tree. In that case you'll get a nice view before it knocks the tree down and eats you.
- Grizzly Bears, 9th Core (Starting to see a Trend of cool quotes here? I Am)

I wouldn't stand in front of that wurm, son. 'Course, I wouldn't stand behind it neither. In fact, standing anywhere near that wurm's not much of a plan. Running, now that's a plan!
- Spined Wurm, 9th Core

Your attack had been rendered harmless. It is, however, quite pretty
- Counterspell, Mercadian Masques

If they move, kill them. In fact, kill one now to make sure the other understands
- Intimidation, Mercadian Masques

When Urza asked the Viashino what it did, they answered: 'It hums."
- Thran Turbine, Urza's Saga

For them, the only honorable death is one that leaves a crater
- Bloodfire Dwarf, Apocalypse And I Totally Agree!

The dead make good soldiers. They can't disobey orders, they never surrender, and they don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off.
- Drudge Skeletons, 9th Core

I like goblins. they make funny little popping sounds when they die.
- Skirk Prospector, Onslaught

After an hour in the hidey-hole, Squee seriously pondered the advantages of danger over boredom.
- Hidden Retreat, Stronghold

Before I hire new recruits, I test how long they can hold their breath. You'd be surprised how often it comes up
- Smother, Worldwake

To the camp, it was a fierce and loyal protector. To the sentry's youngest daughter, it would always be her "Wuv Muffin
- Patrol Hound, Odyssey

But then . . . oh, but . . . which means . . . which would lead to . . . exactly"
- Train Of Thought, Guildpact

After breaking free from the Riptide Project, the slivers quickly adapted to life on Otaria, much to the dismay of life on Otaria
- Blade Sliver, Legions

It doesn't need to use it's venom, it just needs you to know it can
- Toxin Sliver, Legions

Species XR17 feeds upon the mental energies of its victims, this explains why the goblins remained unaffected
- Synapse Sliver, Legions

All Auriok children know the tale, "Volgri, and the Long Day of Squashing
- Nuisance Engine, Mirrodin

The enemy has been destroyed, sir. So have the forest, the city, your palace, your dog . .
- Obliterate, 8th Core


Ok...Thats it. Im only going to waste 5 hours or so finding these....I hate being so competitive. I saw more posts and i said to myself "Self, You have to put up more cool flavor text than anyone else."....So i tried.

Delete "Ach! Hans, Run!" and add Lhurgoyf. Hanya obviously meant for you to put Lhurgoyf because "Ach! Hans, Run!" doesn't have a flavor text.
