If your not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, then why do they put the synopsis there?

Actually, that was plato quoting Socrates. One of my favorites.
Here's another:
"There's never been a good war or a bad peace." - Ben Franklin
And one of my all-time favorites:
"Mankind must put and end to war or war will put end to mankind." - John F Kennedy

Here's one I try to live by: Don't make molehills out of mountains.
E.g. don't regard a TWELVE YEAR NECRO as a "bump."

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
Whiles like a puffed and reckless libertine
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.
Hamlet Act I, scene iii

I like it because it is humorous. I.e. "I tell the truth out of laziness rather than integrity."

Thank you GRRM.

Know thyself 
Attributed to a large number of ancient Greeks, more notably Thales, Chilon of Sparta, Solon the Athenian, and in variations to even more.
It was one of the inscriptions (maybe even the first one) in the oracle of Delphoi.

"Why, what would you?"
"Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house;
Write loyal cantons of contemnèd love
And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
Hallow your name to the reverberate hills
And make the babbling gossip of the air
Cry out 'Olivia!' O, you should not rest
Between the elements of air and earth,
But you should pity me."
"You might do much."
(Maybe not strictly one line, nor strictly philosophy. But who's being strict, or philosophical, round here? I follow my instincts, and this is what occurred to me.)
