PhysicsWeb has a story on the greatest equations ever, featuring many of the usual suspects, plus a few that I had never heard of before. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell they limited themselves to equations actually used in science and mathematics. My own nomination for the greatest equation ever would have to be "2 + 2 = 5", which comes from a different realm altogether. I don't know if it's really called "Orwell's Equation," but that's what I think of it as.
