If bumper stickers still exist 500 years in the future, this is what might be on Serenity. Ya know, like "We break for no one" on the back of the ship in "Spaceballs." :)

"If you're going through Hell, keep going....."
-Winston Churchhill

"Think for yourself or someone else will do your thinking for you."

"Your right to swing your fist in the air ends where my nose begins"- I've seen this attributed to any number of people...

"Know thyself" - Socrates

"Selling is legal. Fucking is legal...Why isn't selling fucking legal?" - George Carlin

I'll come back after some research...!

Sorry about the cursing...But the Carlin quote was the first things I thought of when I found that prostitutes (though Companions are a good deal more than that, aren't they)were considered more than just socially elevated, but also exceptional...

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

All Patrick Henry:

"Perfect freedom is as necessary to the health and vigor of commerce as it is to the health and vigor of citizenship."

"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. "

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. "

Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects. And claw at you.

This one seems to apply to River pretty well:

"I may seem weird, but i could kick your ass at jeopardy"

My brother had that one a bumper sticker once. along with J.R.R. Tolkien's quote "Not all who wander are lost"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Early: I only hurt people because they keep getting in the way of me finding you. Tell her.
Simon: What am I? Your advocate?
Early: You are starting now.
Simon: He's really very...gentle...and fuzzy. We're becoming fast friends.
Early: You folks are all insane.
Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

Isn't this Worf, from Star Trek, talking about the mating rituals of Klingons?

Where what the men do is recite love poetry?

Personally, I like the quote I have in my sig. I got it from the Robin Williams movie 'What Dreams May Come'. I figure it fits with the crew of Serenity.
