There are several phrases associated with the Statue of Liberty, but the most recognizable is "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." This quote comes from Emma Lazarus' Sonnet, New Colossus, which she wrote for a fundraiser auction to raise money for the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty now sits. The poem did not receive much recognition and was quite forgotten after the auction.
