A former chairman of Ford Motor Company had this one hanging on his wall and it has become one of my favorites: "Don't let the bastards get you down."
"Treat others the way you want to be treated," is another favorite, from the Bible, of course (although, most belief systems have some version of that one, as a matter of fact).
And then there's "When you're stuck in the mud up to the shiny parts, you find out who your real friends are," by Chuckie Finster from Rugrats.

Most are engaged in business the greater part of their lives, because the soul abhors a vacuum and they have not discovered any continuous employment for man's nobler faculties. -Henry David Thoreau
There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come— the readiness is all. Since no man of aught he leaves knows, what is't to leave betimes? Let be.
-Shakespeare (Hamlet)

It's from JFK's inaugural speech...
"With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on Earth, God's work must truly be our own."

I have many:
"Life is what happens when you're busy making plans"
"challenges are what make life interesting;overcoming them is what makes life meaningful
"be who you are and say what you feel,because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
"Blood is thicker than water"
Talent Is What You Possess; Genius Is What Possesses You
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
And, Where love is great, our littlest doubts are fear

"Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you were smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you are crying."
