Didn't know if you just wanted 1 - but these are my favorites...
"Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue" - Roger C. Anderson
"The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross & which to burn" - David Russell
"A Man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm" - Charles M Schwab
"A professional is someone who can do his best work, when he doesn't feel like doing it.." - Alistar Cooke
But my ALL TIME favorite, even though it was a hockey reference, but I think it applies to anything in LIFE..:

r"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"...I try to live by that one....
"Everything within moderation"....it helped me realize that I was living an excessive life with partying...now I just do it moderately instead of every weekend...also too it helps me not to eat excessively too..never really had a problem with that....but it helps.
"To thine own self be true"...Another great one b/c it helps you keep reality in check....so you don't live a false life so to speak. You give yourself the needed dose of constructive criticism when needed or praise.
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much"...or I rearranged it to fit men and women "Methinks thou protest too much"...it's a nice way of telling someone you think they are lying. LOL
