1. Xah mentioned using registers.
 
2. You also have the secondary selection, which is like a second clipboard:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SecondarySelection. Very handy and probably
underused.

3. All text you kill or copy (`M-w') is available from the `kill-ring'. You can
yank (paste) any kill-ring item at any time.

In vanilla Emacs, you do that by `C-y M-y M-y M-y'... There are also various
ways to directly choose which item to paste, instead of cycling to it - see the
Emacs Wiki. In Icicles, for instance, `C-- C-y' (`icicle-completing-yank') lets
you use completion to choose the kill(s) to paste.
