I was thinking today that a great resource would be a list of quotes and sayings for players who play clerics and other holy (or unholy) or spiritual characters.

When posting a quote, be sure to indicate the portfolio, the domain, and the alignment of the quote. I think it would be fun to see a situation where the followers of two different gods use the same quote. There are all sorts of possibilities for role playing there.
