I'm not a religious man but I always liked Psalm 23:4 from the Bible. It's partially present in the movie THE BOOK OF ELI.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
