My favourite are the final words of Isaac Newton, the greatest man in science and pretty much at the top of the most influential men of all time: “I don’t know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Honorable mentions:
"It's finished." Guess who said it, but that should be an easy one.
Beethoven died during a thunder storm, now that's badass! His final words were something like "What a pity, too late." It seems he was still composing in his mind up to his last breath.
The final words of Albert Einstein remain unknown. When he said them, only his nurse was present and she didn't understand German.
