"This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practice ourselves the kind of behavior we expect from other people."
C.S. Lewis

If you like Christian writers (i.e. C.S. Lewis), good/cool Bible verse/quote is:
" Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must." - Ephesians 6:17-20

"Love is something more stern and splended than mere kindness." -C.S. Lewis
"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you're left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering." -Professor Harold Hill (The Music Man)
"The best thing to do with life is to spend it on something that will outlast it." -Anonomous

Those are a few off the top of my head, other than that you can go to wikiquote.org and search, or buy one of those books of inspiring quotes.
I you like C.S. Lewis quotes, you might like Corrie Ten Boom and J.R.R. Tolkein

Life is to short to wake up with regrets, so love the ones who treat you right, forget about those who don't. If you get a chance in life take it, if it changes your life let it. No one said it was going to be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

"Truth is so excellent that when it praises but small things, they become noble."
-Leonardo da Vinci

This quote means that when you see electricity poles as music lines or birds as arrows, they become noble because your observations really are the truth, and the truth praises them.
