"Failure is one of the major parts of television. So let's start over, shall we?"

Basically saying, you will fail - but you'll always have another chance to redeem yourself.

Also remember the classic: "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!"

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping.

This one get me out of bed in the morning:

Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.

"procrastination is a lot like masturbation. It feels good for a while, but in the end you realise that you just f***ed yourself"-that could be an interesting one for a speech

"never take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway"

i suggest getting a quote that is true and humourous. nothing like waking the audience

p.s. read into winston churchhill, i quite like his retorts-please refer to poison tea, drunk and ugly

'You tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson is never to try.'
