Mine seems to bother artdoggy. A lot. So out of the kindness of my heart, I have found a few others:
Life is just one damned thing after another.
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen (1935 - )
Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.
Douglas Adams
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
I think artdoggy might like this one best
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot (1826 - 1877)
this may be the one artdoggy dislikes even more than the one I currently use
But it is another I have chosen to be my new sig line, in honor of artdoggy.
Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but unlike charity, it should end there --Clare Booth Luce

I see you've already chosen, but I really like the second GBS quote. Your new pick is also rather topical. I like it.
One I was contemplating using is also by Harlan Ellison, #*!@ extraodinaire and SF writer of dark stories:
The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity
Now that I've shared my opinion, Have I missed something?

How about...

Thomas Paine

LindaK: boy, those are some good ones--if I hadn't already chosen... Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but unlike charity, it should end there --Clare Booth Luce

bunnicula - Not as classy as the others that have been listed, and no famous people to give credit to, but...

I enjoyed all of those very much. I only used a sig line once briefly, in the spring of '99. Maybe I'll do one again.

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it - for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen
