snazzzybird sez -- 
I don't have the book with me, so I can't quote them exactly.  
However, I enjoyed the "witty" sayings in the Homework Planners that 
Hermione gave to Harry and Ron for Christmas.  One of them went 
something like, "Don't put it off till later, you second-rater!"  Add 
to that Harry's and Ron's comments and reactions, and I was literally 
laughing out loud.

inspirational sayings on each page.
