Inspired by the favorites lyrics thread in the Music forum, post your favorite quotes from comics.
I'll start with an easy one: "With great power must also come great responsibility" originally from Amazing Spider-Man #15 (1962). Of course, it was quoted over the years in Spidey stories with some variations (usually without the "must also" part).*

The fourth volume of Preacher, Proud Americans, collects various stories featuring the supporting cast (mainly villains) of the series. One of them is mini-series telling the origin story of the mysterious Saint of Killers from the days after the Civil War to him becoming the new Angel of Death. Coming back from the war, the unnamed man just tried to live his life, but somehow got involved with a religious girl. Eventually they were married and had a daughter. At some point the woman tries to encourage him to read from the bible to their kid, so she'll know how great the Lord is, claiming God was the one to make her husband a good person. The husband refuses and says he never was and never will be a man of God, then sums it all with: "Why can a man not turn to doing good, without the Lord getting all mixed up in it?"
