I like "The Four Immeasurables" :
May all living beings have happiness and the causes of happiness;
May all living beings be free from misery and the causes of misery;
May all living beings never be separated from happiness, devoid of misery;
May all living beings abide in equanimity free from prejudicial attachments and aversions.
-The Buddha
What about you?

R&S: Don't say we didn't warn you.
What? You mean we didn't?
Ok, don't go to R&S

"If it makes you have contempt for others: for an enemy, for the poor, for the rich, for the helpless, for the different. It's not God you're worshipping, it's your own pathetic projection of omnipotence. But God is: the enemy, the poor, the rich, the helpless, and the different. God is the other. All evil begins with this belief: that another's existence is less precious than mine."
A bit long for a motto, but I love this quote from Tony Hendra's book The Messiah of Morris Avenue. I think the meaning can be appreciated by all religions and philosophies.

Motto like the U.S. national motto, "In God We Trust"?
Or the British S.A.S. motto, "Who dares wins"?
I think you have confused the word motto with rant!
How about :-
Nil Desperandum
That should sum up the core teachings of the most popular religious beliefs.

"Impermenance: all good things come to an end but, then, so do all the bad things. Nothing stays the same."
-I'm pretty sure that was a teaching of Buddha as well

The Four Immeasurables sound like they don't care anything about truth. Everyone knows:
"The truth will set you free."
That's what we are all looking for.
