I'd like to consider something more Wikiquote-specific if we could. 
Commons has a button:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Commons-button-en.png

that has the text: "It's all about freedom / Support Wikimedia Commons". 
Perhaps we could do something similar? Here's are two possibilities based 
on quotes from a 19th-century collection:

"Quotation is the highest compliment / Support Wikiquote"
* Samuel Johnson; quoted in Edwards, Tryon, "The World's Laconics: Or, The 
Best Thoughts of the Best Authors" (1853), p. 232: "Quotation is the 
highest compliment you can pay to an author."

"A community of mind / Support Wikiquote"
* Unidentified (possibly Johnson); quoted in Edwards, "World's Laconics", 
p. 232: "Quotation, sir, is a good thing; there is a community of mind in 
it..."

Any other ideas?

Regards,
Jeff
