Besides, I just found out about the time-honored Fortune *nix utility and the Fortunoid Plasma Widget which is a front end for it.
Fortune has lots and lots of quotation modules already. In addition, even Drupal and Wordpress have plugins for Fortune.
It is not very difficult to write a script to make Wikiquote pages into Fortune modules.
In Linux, it is never worthwhile to reinvent the wheel.
(Buddha might not be the greatest, in some opinions, but he is the most often quoted. Many now believe that Jesus may have been significantly influenced by Jewish traders from Ashoka's India, where Buddha's aphorisms were widely repeated.)

The greatest atheist of all time was the Buddha, yet there are no quotes by him.
Wikiquotes is a fabulous resource, and there are much more interesting quotes there than the ones selected by this module.
Why not just add an option to display any page (or collection of pages) from Wikiquotes?
For the most part, Wikiquotes uses <li> lists, so the script is relatively easy to implement.
I like the other suggestions of implementing a time setting (in which to rotate quotations).
Also, the display of this module is unreadable with many themes (such as Nitro), and it is difficult to modify the display settings.
This module would be extremely popular were it more more customisable.

One thing, though: how can I change the font color? I can't see anything unless I select it manually.

The countries that ARE include France, USA (the govt is large majority Catholic, just not the people), similar for the UK (devout closet RC just like Blair). Pull out your favorite almanac for all the scary numbers.
Then there's the relevant books on the last Index of Forbidden Literature (when Vatican II started) wherein some respected European politicians argued the the entire Cold War was an encouraged nuclear brinkmanship.
Big bibliography on this topic. Shall I send?
FYI

I can't emphasize enough, don't just look at one man...the presidency. Ya gotta look at congress, the Supreme Court, the NGO's, local govs. The news is all the same. You need to read. You need to look at numbers. The US has virtually embraced "the master religion".
Besides, if you want to make a strong argument, please cite names, dates, surveys, verifiable facts, substance. Please don't just go with opinion. Its all on the 'net.
Groan...I'm very tired.

I'd like to see some control over the font size. It would also be good if you could schedule the frequency for new quotes to be downloaded.

As follows:
Quote:<html>
<head>
</head>
<!-- CHANGE font-size STYLE TAG HERE. It comes default at 24px. Change to 14px and it's small enough to still read. -->
