I don't have the script to hand so i couldn't tell you word for word but i think there's one that sayssomething like:
But all is too calm for the brave Macbeth, well he deserves that name.

I studied it a few months ago in my English class and had to find the same thing.
Hope that helped

Oh, my, there are so very, very many!!!

Just a few:

Fair is foul and foul is fair.

Lead on, MacDuff!

Boil, boil, toil and trouble.

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

Here is a little passage that is full of famous quotes (and it's one of my favorites):

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
till the last syllable fo recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way
to dusty death
Out, out brief candle.
Time is but a walking shadow;
a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot;
full of sound and fury
and then is heard no more.

I may have gotten the line breaks wrong, I'm doing this from memory. But that whole passage has a ton of lines that are frequently quoted within it.

Good luck!

Out damned spot!
