I thought of one myself while at work. After bothering a manager for confirmation I said "I'd rather know I've done something right than not know I've done something wrong."

Was quite pleased with that 😀
Mine regarding customer service in the US Vs the UK: I'd rather be told 'have a nice day' by someone who doesn't mean it than 'fuck off' by someone who does.
An irishman goes for an interview as a blacksmith, the interviewer asks if he’s had any experience shoeing horses, the Irishman says no, but I once told a donkey to fuck off

I have a sneaking feeling I picked it up from someone's long since posted comment on here. It was simply: "One day you'll wake up and twenty years will have gone past"
Viewing philosophy as simple catch phrases sort of misses the point at bit.
Philosophers tend to think about questions like :-
"Is every unambiguous statement true or false? " "Can an unambiguous statement be neither true nor false? " "Can an unambiguous statement be both true and false?". "What do we mean by ambiguous anyway?".
Thinking a little about this might help us when we hear politicians talk about telling "THE TRUTH". Is there such a thing as "THE TRUTH".
When I studied Philosophy one essay was: ‘Play is a non serious activity. Discuss’. Another was: ‘She needs a new car like she needs a hole in the head’ discuss the meaning of ‘needs’ in that sentence. Another was: ‘Freedom’ is a non existent concept as the idea always requires context. Discuss.

That sounds like a fairly enjoyable activity.
Almost like solving a riddle.
1) ....not sure
2) She doesn't NEED a new car at all. Not having a new car will not withdraw her existence.
3) Technically, you have at least some proportion of freedom even if you're in a prison cell.
You have the freedom to stand up, and sit back down again.
Freedom has only vanished if you're dead or very close to being dead.

I am starting to wonder how some people's truth will impact with court cases.
Harry & Meghan are 2 examples who seem to think they can have their truth which is often not THE truth
