My contribution:
(You don't have to post about all types)

E1:
When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target.

E2:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

E3:
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

E4:
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.

To be loved for what one is, that is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him;their own selves, their version of him.

E5:
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.

E6:
The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.

He who fears to suffer, suffers from fear.

The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.

E7:
If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

E8:
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

The best way out of a problem is through it.

E9:
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

That guy in the background. :p

I'll do some for the other types as well.

E5w4: "Science rules!" - Bill Nye the science guy.

E5w6: "If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord." - Bach

Hrrm. That's all the easy ones.

Hrrm. Now with Bach, I'm no longer sure. Skeptical face activated.

There's always the Cliche I think therefor I am quote for 5w6.

"I'm going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there's an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened." - 3w4? Don't know. They all melt together in my head.
