Bereshit Bara Elohim Et Ha-Shamaim V-Et Ha-Aretz

The first sentence of the Bible in Hebrew transliterated.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

I like to include this because of the extreme poetic nature of the text in Hebrew… Bereshit Bara… alliteration, right off the bat.
“Resh” also means “head.”
