If bumper stickers still exist 500 years in the future, this is what might be on Serenity. Ya know, like "We break for no one" on the back of the ship in "Spaceballs." :)

"If you're going through Hell, keep going....."
-Winston Churchhill

"Think for yourself or someone else will do your thinking for you."
-Anonymous (I think)

Pitch in, everyone. Then go fly a kite.

MANWITHPEZ

Important people don't do field work.

"Your right to swing your fist in the air ends where my nose begins"- I've seen this attributed to any number of people...

"Know thyself" - Socrates

"Selling is legal. Fucking is legal...Why isn't selling fucking legal?" - George Carlin

I'll come back after some research...!

Sorry about the cursing...But the Carlin quote was the first things I thought of when I found that prostitutes (though Companions are a good deal more than that, aren't they)were considered more than just socially elevated, but also exceptional...

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

All Patrick Henry:

"Perfect freedom is as necessary to the health and vigor of commerce as it is to the health and vigor of citizenship."

"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. "

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. "

GUNRUNNER

“See this aircraft, you could land it on its fuselage, go out, lift it up, lower the landing gear, clear the engine intakes and take off again.” Some Russian General whose name I forget. (Just seems to fit Serenity)

Some from (Shutters) Andromeda:
Trance Gemini: "Isn't that the time when we are supposed to play good-cop-bad-cop?"
Seamus Harper: "Sorry, mon cheri, welcome to..a new game! Bad cop, worse cop! And...guess which one I am!"

"If there is treasure, it logically follows that I deserve it." -Seamus Harper

HOWDYROCKERBABY1

This one seems to apply to River pretty well:

"I may seem weird, but i could kick your ass at jeopardy"

My brother had that one a bumper sticker once. along with J.R.R. Tolkien's quote "Not all who wander are lost"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Early: I only hurt people because they keep getting in the way of me finding you. Tell her.
Simon: What am I? Your advocate?
Early: You are starting now.
Simon: He's really very...gentle...and fuzzy. We're becoming fast friends.
Early: You folks are all insane.
Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

Isn't this Worf, from Star Trek, talking about the mating rituals of Klingons?

Where what the men do is recite love poetry?

OXYOPIA

Personally, I like the quote I have in my sig. I got it from the Robin Williams movie 'What Dreams May Come'. I figure it fits with the crew of Serenity.

-Oxy

'What people call impossible is just stuff they
haven't seen yet...'

CYBERSNARK

Gunrunner, I see your Andromeda quotes and reply in kind:

"We say atoms are bound by Weak Attractors.
Why not admit the Truth: The universe is held together by Love."
--Michio Von Kerr, Wayist Physicist, CY 9942

"Wealth is too Precious to be entrusted to the Rich."
--Anonymous, Kalderan Proverb, circa CY 500

"Here is the price of freedom:
Your every drop of courage,
ounce of pain, pint of blood.
Paid in advance."
--Sebastian Lee, "The Rising Tide" AFC 271

"You're never more alive than the first time someone puts a gun to your favourite head and asks you to dance." --Major Korgo Korgar, "Last of the Lancers" AFC 32

"The best laid plans of mice and men usually go about the way you expect when you involve a rodent in the planning process." --Jackson Fiorello, "Aphorisms" CY 9876

And, some wit and wisdom from InuYasha:

"Don't kid yourself."

May sound simple, but the world would perhaps be a better place if we all tried to live by that advice.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

"There Ain't No Such Thing As a Free Lunch" (commonly condensed to its acronym "TANSTAaFL"). Robert Heinlein, from the Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

"Think of it as evolution in action" (refering to the fatal consequences of stupidity). Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle, from Oath of Fealty

Probably about 90% of the aphorisms & epigrams collected in the Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Robert Heinlein
example: "Beware of strong drink. It can lead you to shoot at tax collectors . . . and miss."

Keep the Shiny Side Up . . . (wutzon) Flying Burrito Bro's, "Wild Horses", from "Jagger/Richards Songbook"

CHANI

Weeeeelllll I don't know if it could go on a bumper sticker but I loved the bit in Chicken Run.

GINGER: Where there's a will there's a way.
ROCKY: And I will be leaving.... that way.

it's just so Firefly humour!

We can only learn so much and live.

BAYBREEZE1

Don't remember who said it but:

"Once more into the breach..."

Feels Fireflyish and a good bumber sticker (particular in morning rush hour commute!)

Probably a little much for a bumper sticker. Maybe on a plaque or something.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."--Samuel Adams

I really like that one, and "Live free or die."

HELL'S KITTEN

Far too long for a bumper sticker, but this quote captivated me when I first encountered it:

'Course, I could just be crazy.
