Catchy slogans used in everyday life: English and Spanish

Question

Do you have a slogan in your country which made its way into everyday life? Or which is still used in other campaigns?

I was just thinking about the slogan:

Don't worry, be happy!

I thought it was the song my Marley, but it seems this is not true.

Anyway, this slogan was used in other ads: "Don't Worry, Be Huggies" for example.

Even in Spain we sometimes use this, in impossible situations, we just say:

Pues no te preocupes, sé feliz

Can you think of something similar in your country? Post in English and Spanish

O N E slogan per post!! Please correct your posts as suggested!
