If you've sat through a round of Apologetics, you've probably heard a quote from Wayne Grudem in almost every speech. He is a great source to quote, but he's often overused. To bring variety to your category one speeches, here are some quotes from other sources:
John Piper (Salvation)
“The wisdom of God has ordained a way for the love of God to deliver us from the wrath of God without compromising the justice of God.”
Benjamin Franklin (Sovereignty, Interest)
“I have lived a long time, sir, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men.”
Corrie ten Boom (Significance)
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
Martin Luther (GQ1)
“God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees, and clouds, and stars.”
A.W. Pink (GQ3)
“Gospellers have much to say about what Christ's death accomplished for those who believe in Him, but very little is said about what that Death accomplished Godwards. The fact is that the death of Christ glorified God if never a single sinner had been saved by virtue of it.”
Martin Luther (Grace)
“God does not give grace freely in the sense that He will demand no satisfaction, but He gave Christ to be the satisfaction for us.”
Martin Luther (Grace)
“This is the mystery of the riches of divine grace for sinners, for by a wonderful exchange our sins are now not ours but Christ's, and Christ's righteousness.”
Donald Bloesch (Righteousness)
“Our peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God.”
James Montgomery Boice (Trinity)
“The important point is not whether we can understand the Trinity, even with the help of illustrations, but whether we will believe what the Bible has to say about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and about their relationship to each other.”
