The most obvious solution is the best this time.

List.Add('Line 1');
List.Add('Line 2');
...
List.Add('Line n');

Setting the Text property (or calling the SetText method) parses the text and 
splits it by NewLine chars. It makes no sense because you have concatenated 
the strings with NewLines.
Method Add does not need to parse anything.

None of these solutions is "preinitialised", compile time solution.
You can only initialize a const static arrays at compile time.
