“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.”
A few that come to mind:
It'll pass (regarding struggles with loss, etc).
Choose your hard (with anything in life you have a choice of working hard at something or you're choosing to be hard on yourself for not)
Always take the mint (when offered a mint or gum always take it)

I like this quote from The Count of Monte Cristo:
“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”

The motto I live by is: **** em
Do your thing and don't worry about what others think. You'll be happier for it.
Second motto: don't be a ****.
Be a good person, and you'll be happier for it.

In the vein of life knocking you down but dusting yourself off and getting right back up on that horse:
"Suck it up, buttercup"
or
"Rub some dirt on it"
Get your CF minds out of the gutter!
And from Cheers (Norm):
"Women ... Can't live with 'em ...
pass the beer nuts."

My own:
Never say anything behind a person's back that you wouldn't say to their face.
My father sent me this just before my finals, first semester, freshman year:
Illegitimi non carborundom ("Latin" for don't let the bastards grind you down)
And my faith mantra:
Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly.
(abbreviated version of Micah 6:8)

Ig you fall in love with the process, if you fall in love with the process, then eventually the process will love you back.
