This is how I come up with passwords; I find a phrase that I can remember without too much trouble then I use the first letter of each word to make a password.

Phrase: Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone

Password: 3RftE-kuts,7ftD-lithos

Easy to remember and highly secure. I have been using this method for years.

Bonus example: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty

Less secure then the last example but still strong. Especially if you use uncommon strings like the words to a song by a local band or a phrase from the newspaper or an unpopular book. That way even an attack targeting this method will take a long long time.
