the one I use the most is "only this and nothing more"

"90% of everything is crud...but the remaining 10% is worth dying for"-Theodore sturgeon.
Its actually a paraphrase and I don't actually think 90% of everthing is crud but I use it for a lot of genres and sub-genres of entertainment mediums.
For example, I believe that most anime is crud but the good ones are worth dying for. Most SF is crud and unoriginal but the rest is worth dying for. Most poetry is crud but the rest is dying for. The examples are numerous.

"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

My current favorite is, "Without oxen a stable stays clean." It is from the Proverbs of Solomon. I say it when I have to clean up messes left behind by others. The quote reminds me to appreciate the blessings of the people in my life and gives me patience to deal with what is not always so savory.
Interesting topic!
Mine probably is: A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
