Tony Montana quotes from Scarface: The World Is Yours (The PS2 game) which make me laugh:
"Is this it? Is this what it's all about? Killing, driving, dealing, swearing? Then what? You're fifty. You got a bag for a belly. You got ****, you need a bra; they got hair on 'em. You got a liver, it's got spots on it, and you're looking like these rich ******* mummies."
"Get out of the ******* street!" (He occasionally says this when you run over a pedestrian).

Proverbs 15:19
I could list thousands and I'm not even kidding. But here's one that comes to mind. It comes from a book called 'The Treasure Chest', and was published in 1965.
"A successful teacher needs:
The education of a college president,
The executive ability of a financier,
The humility of a deacon,
The adaptability of a chameleon,
The hope of an optimist,
The courage of a hero,
The wisdom of a serpent,
The gentleness of a dove,
The patience of Job,
The grace of God, and
The persistence of the devil."

It's originally german, so I will translate it as close to original as possible into english:
"There will always be somewhere a little lost dog, that will keep me from being truely happy."
I know, it's not inspirational or happy, but that's my favorite quote, because it's true.
Of course, I will be happy, but knowing that there are so many lost and unloved animals out there
will always break my heart when thinking about it..
