"One that would have the fruit

One of my favorite movie quotes, from Poolhall Junkies...by Christopher Walken

You watch those nature documentaries on the cable? You see the one about lions? You got this lion. He's the king of the jungle, huge mane - out to here. He's laying under a tree, in the middle of Africa. He's so big... it's so hot. He doesn't want to move. Now the little lions come, they start messing with him. Biting his tail, biting his ears. He doesn't do anything. The lioness, she starts messing with him. Coming over, making trouble. Still nothing. Now the other animals, they notice this. They start to move in. The jackals; hyenas. They're barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes, and eat the food that's in his domain. They do this, then they get closer and closer, bolder and bolder. Till one day, that lion gets up and tears the s%#t out of everybody. Runs like the wind, eats everything in his path... Cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals, who he is.

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lomardi

Here is one that comes to mind from a technical rescue instructor I had, "The only easy day was yesterday. - used in many services traiining.

A more funny one I saw on a t-shirt is " If Traiathlon was easy, they'd call it Football" I actually saw that worn to a football game.
