Slightly off-topic because it's a mission statement, and an old one at that, but NASA's always gave me chills:

To explore the universe and search for life,
To inspire the next generation of explorers
... as only NASA can.

>> "A computer on every desk, running Microsoft software".

They are open to Windows on their phones though. Maybe its time to bring back the motto?...
Update: Whats with the downvotes? A phone is computer too, no?...
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, which builds most large US warships: ""We shall build good ships here, at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always good ships."
Microsoft mission statement through the 1990s: "A computer on every desk, running Microsoft software". (Slogan retired because mission accomplished.)
National Security Agency: "Anything is possible, the impossible just takes longer".
US Coast Guard: "You have to go out, but you don't have to come back."
