"We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life — the unborn — without diminishing the value of all human life." - Ronald Reagan
"Being pro-life doesn't end at birth, and being Christian doesn't just mean caring about someone after death." - Mike Huckabee

I can't think of to many right now, but one that I've always liked is...

"You never know why your alive, till you know what you would die for." - Originally Martin Luther King Jr. (I believe). I get it from BJ Higgins though.
"For God So Loved The World That He Gave His One And Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believes In Him Shall Not Perish But Have Everlasting Life." John 3:16
I have more... I just can't think.

Here one of my favorites (no offense to those of you who go to public school!)
“It would seem that not only is religion lacking in the schools—so is common sense. I wonder what a teacher is supposed to say if a kid asks about those four words on a dime—‘In God We Trust’. Or maybe that’s why they aren’t being taught to read these days.” - Ronald Regan

Then there are a few that I wrote;

My aspiration:
Wooton Bassett wrote:"I want to be normal, like Spongebob Squarepants!"
I know Spongebob is weird, but look how much fun he has!

One frequent quote:
Amethystic wrote:"Name-calling is wrong, dipwad!"
Here's another frequently used one I know of (Siv you should recognise this one if you ever bother with reading Facebook profiles).
A girl I know who quotes herself on Facebook who says this about almost everything in the real world to freak her loved ones wrote:That's what they want you to think...
The quote I heard the most last year:
My Math and Science teacher wrote: Amberlee, get your math and science homework done!

You stole that from Bernard and changed it! It's supposed to be, "I will have no name calling in this courtroom, you bonehead!"

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
