Not only the SAS but quite a few special forces units, but I think the British SAS was the first to use it.Scythax said:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
My mother told me this from the moment I was old enough to understand her.
"You can't judge a book by it's cover."
I very much take this to heart, I wish the rest of the world would too.
"You can't have everything, where would you put it?"
- Steven Wright
"My God's better than your God."
I don't remember where I heard it and I'm not a religious person, I just keep it as a reminder how much needless hate and conflict can come from fanatical/overzealous religious beliefs. Loving your religion is a good thing, just don't kill anyone over it.

These few quotes were commonly used by a well known mathematic genuis/alien abductee (I am not lying) from my old high school. He was only slightly crazy, he was elderly and he could outrun many of the students in high school doing cross country.
Don't admit defeat, the only one who can defeat you is yourself.
Free speech is not a continuous obligation.
This is not a mission impossible, this is a mission possible, you won't self-destruct in thirty seconds.
Maths is like eating, do it with your mouth closed.
This is meant to be a mathematical health farm, not a mathematical intensive care ward.
If you're smart enough to find the room and don't own a mobile, you can pass Maths B.
It's the end of the lesson, commence your closing ceremonies.
Be quiet, you little soccer fans.
Oh, to be a happy idiot.
Some are not quotes that I live by, but they have definately inspired me.

OT: I usually don't need quotes to guide me in life. I live on my own rules, my own set of morals. I don't look to a higher being for moral guidance, but from within myself. There are a few things I have come up with on my own.
"We are not only here to enjoy what those who came before have given to us, but to also create for the future. For all eternity, this cycle will continue."
"There is only one sacrifice that you should never make, to sacrifice your own morality. Guard it with your life. If you die, you die with honor."
Serious: If you fall off a cliff, you might as well try to fly. After all, you got nothing to lose. ~ Unknown to me.
Less Serious but still valid: If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it. ~Albert Einstein
Totally not serious: Essentially, anything can be destroyed if you hit it hard enough. ANYTHING. ~ Sam Hughes
