The four Mahavakyas.

1. Prajnanam Brahma - "Consciousness is Brahman"
2. Ayam Atma Brahma - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman"
3. Tat Tvam Asi - "Thou art That"
4. Aham Brahmasmi - "I am Brahman"

At least, I believe them to be true as far as I currently understand them.

i dont get it? i just keep thinking fallout...

I don't think you're supposed to get it, I think you're supposed to sit there in silent contemplation of these truths until your brain finally has enough and hurls itself, in the form of a yellow custardy goop, from your ears. Only then can you call yourself truly enlightened.

I only have one, which is said by nelson mandela and I do believe it:

" the greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall."

"Do nothing in excess, including moderation"

I love that one. Absolutely love it.

"Every breath we take brings us one step closer to the ineveitable dusk. Make every breath count."

And, I made that one up, not bad if I dont say so myself.

Closest thing to a saying I live by.

EDIT: I saw a post in this thread that made me think of something better.
"It's better to remain silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

If you're going through hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill

This is more of an existential quote than it is a saying, but it's one of my favorites is the most meaningful to me...

"All men are condemned to freedom." - Jean Paul Sarte
