I was discussing this with friends at work today.

Mine is "life is a turd, polish that turd to the best of your ability" In other words, life's natural state sucks, but you can make it good.

one friend's was "do good works and good things will happen to you"

another's was "sometimes you are the windshield, but sometimes you are the bug"

What's yours?
 
Buy low, sell high
 
Humans are all stupid, but with the capacity for greatness.
 
In all things, love, duty and devotion in equal measure.
 
Always be pessimistic; that way you can never be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised. ;)
 
Everyone MUST DIE!!!
 
My philosophy used to be "Life's a bitch, and then you die".
Now it's "Life's a bitch, but I like it anyway". ;)

LOL, that's pretty close to mine.
 
I have many, as I don't like broad and vague, it's always too ... broad and vague. Here are some of my favs. Never "why," always "whys"... ie only followed the course with many coherent answers to "why?" or it's not wise. Whoever is maddest longest is the loser.... Because it means they are continuing to waste time and energy focusing on the "winner" (This one has successfully saved both myself and my son from our terrible, terrible tempers.) Answer to kids saying, "I don't love you anymore!" as all kids do... "Yeah, I know but you don't love me anyless either." You're only truly superior if you handle your supposed superiority with kindness and humor. Never take meds to make yourself more acceptable to others, only if it will make you more acceptable to yourself.

You mean, Beautiful Intelligent Talented Clever Honest. See I just don't see a problem with being a BITCH, I'm a proud card carrying member.
 
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw parties.
 
Don't eat crackers in bed because you wake up feeling crummy.
 
The meaning of life is to search the meaning of life. ;)
 
Do, or do not. There is no try.
 
If you are minding your own business, you don't have time to be minding mine.

I've always liked that. Mine was worded a little differently, but with basically the same outcome -- "Aim low. That way, you'll always reach your goals." :D
 
I pity the fool. Yes, I stole that from Mr. T.
 
Live every moment, Laugh everyday, Love beyond words
 
The secret to life is always having something to look forward to.

Nothing is beyond the realm of reason.
