But seriously,
Telling people what not to do or what not to be, doesn't tell them what they should be doing. "Don't be a dick" almost implies that one is a dick already. "Take the lane you pussy!", is probably a bit wrong too... ;-)
You need a positive call to action for your pithy phrase. I tell trainees that they need to be respected and that the best way to get respect from the world is to give some out. If you are treating others well it's reasonable to demand good behavior too, that's a form of self respect. Aknowledgement(?) of others demands that they do the same for you I think.
So how about something like, "Give respect, expect respect". That feels akward verbally but the idea is there.
Going back to bed now....
