I must admit I am unsure why you need to define a purpose now, however we did come up with pretty much your line 4 years ago albeit in a mpre elegant way: "LibreOffice strives to be the engine of your creation and the tool of your intelligence". Note however that a purpose is not the same as a slogan. The latter changes often.
