Another one I greatly admire:
"Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment."
From Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, "Essays on Mind and Matter")

Chesterton! Master of the single-sentence truth.
"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it."
A few more Chestertons:
"Art is the signature of man."
"The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice."
"In the main, and from the beginning of time, mysticism has kept men sane."
"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered."
"There is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great."
And finally, relevant to any who tell stories to children:
"What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon."

Edit: Crud, forgot this one:
"Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much."

Wow, truly an amazing necro.
Well, let me throw in a couple Frank Herberts:
"Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality."
"There’s no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves"
And the one I live by:
"It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
