Gunrunner, I see your Andromeda quotes and reply in kind:

"We say atoms are bound by Weak Attractors.
Why not admit the Truth: The universe is held together by Love."
--Michio Von Kerr, Wayist Physicist, CY 9942

"Wealth is too Precious to be entrusted to the Rich."
--Anonymous, Kalderan Proverb, circa CY 500

"Here is the price of freedom:
Your every drop of courage,
ounce of pain, pint of blood.
Paid in advance."
--Sebastian Lee, "The Rising Tide" AFC 271

"You're never more alive than the first time someone puts a gun to your favourite head and asks you to dance." --Major Korgo Korgar, "Last of the Lancers" AFC 32

"The best laid plans of mice and men usually go about the way you expect when you involve a rodent in the planning process." --Jackson Fiorello, "Aphorisms" CY 9876

And, some wit and wisdom from InuYasha:

"Don't kid yourself."

May sound simple, but the world would perhaps be a better place if we all tried to live by that advice.

"There Ain't No Such Thing As a Free Lunch" (commonly condensed to its acronym "TANSTAaFL"). Robert Heinlein, from the Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

"Think of it as evolution in action" (refering to the fatal consequences of stupidity). Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle, from Oath of Fealty

Probably about 90% of the aphorisms & epigrams collected in the Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Robert Heinlein
example: "Beware of strong drink. It can lead you to shoot at tax collectors . . . and miss."

Keep the Shiny Side Up . . . (wutzon) Flying Burrito Bro's, "Wild Horses", from "Jagger/Richards Songbook"

Weeeeelllll I don't know if it could go on a bumper sticker but I loved the bit in Chicken Run.

GINGER: Where there's a will there's a way.
ROCKY: And I will be leaving.... that way.

it's just so Firefly humour!

We can only learn so much and live.

Don't remember who said it but:

"Once more into the breach..."

Feels Fireflyish and a good bumber sticker (particular in morning rush hour commute!)

Probably a little much for a bumper sticker. Maybe on a plaque or something.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."--Samuel Adams

I really like that one, and "Live free or die."

Far too long for a bumper sticker, but this quote captivated me when I first encountered it:
