  The one that immediately comes to mind is that of JFK which got placed in an MGR song which starts with the name of the title of the movie: nAn En piRanthEn. The quote goes like this:
  
  nAdenna seidhadhu unakku
  enakkELvikaL kEtpadhu edhaRku
  nee enna seidhAi adhaRku
  ena ninaithAl nanmai unakku
  
  Come on DFers, get more quotes pls...

  how about "engaL vaazhvum engaL vaLamum mangaatha thamizhenRu sangE muzhangu"? does this fall under the same category?

  cram!
  I think that lyric itself is by Bharathidasan. (Is the film `kalangarai viLakkam'?) Can you elaborate whose words he is quoting here?

  Two other popular quotes:
  
  1. `ondRE kulam, oruvanE dEvan' of Thirumoolar in the pallANdu vAzhga song (KVM-KJY)
  `ondRE kulamendRu pAduvOm
  oruvanE dEvanendRu pOtRuvOm'
  
  2. `yAdhum oorE, yAvarum kELir' of Kaniyan Poongundranar in the ninaithAlE inikkum song (MSV-SPB/PS)
  `yAdhum oorE, yAvarum kELir
  anbE engaL ulaga thathuvam'

  oh,
  now i get it. i didn't get the idea behind the thread. eden, those lyrics are by puratchi kavignar.

  I heard in one of IRs interview that 'oru naalum unai maravatha' is from Ramlainga adigalar's work.

  yes, kanthimathi. i have heard that too. IR talks about adigalar asking god for the boon that he never be separated from HIM. i think it was very interesting that IR used the instance for a romantic song where the two pledge to be together with each other.
  
  another one is
  "sattam oru iruttarai
  anna sonnar arignar anna sonnar
  atha purinja nadappavan
  ulagil nimirnthu nadappavan"
  from sattam oru iruttarai, a vijaykanth starrer.
  
  in neengal kettavai, "kanavu kaanum vaazhkai yaavum" has a veiled reference to kadamai, kanniyam, kattupadu in the last line: "pethai manithane kadamaiyai indre seivathil thaane aanandham".

  An interesting quote in the song `manaththOttam...' in the film `panathottam':
  
  `oosimunaikkAdhukkuLLE ottagangaL pOnAlum
  kAsAsai pOgAthadi, en thangamE, kattayilum vEgAthadi'
  
  This is taken from the Bible, since Jesus once remarked, after observing the difficulty an young rich ruler had in relinquishing his wealth: `aiswaryavangaL paraloga rAjyathil pravEsippathaippArkilum ottagam oosimunai kAdhukkuL pravEsippathu eLithairukkum'

  Eden:
  
  In the song, thambikku oru pAttu (movie: nAn En piRandhEn), Vaali
  has written the following lines which were pulled from one of the western
  philosophical works..
  
  oru mEdhai pagal vELai kaiyil viLakkudan sendrArAm
  'manidhan engE kANavillai? thEdugiREn nAn' endrArAm
  'piRappAl vaLarppAl iruppavarellAm manidhargaL alla' endrArAm
  'inaththAl alla manaththAl mattum vAzhbavan manidhan' endrArAm

  This may not be a quote, but an inspiration of thought -
  `nalla nalla nilam pArthu, nALum vidhai vidhaikkaNum
  nAttu makkaL manangaLilE, nANayathai vaLarkkaNum'
  
  Here the poet compares the hearts & minds of people with soil and the ideas that are planted into them as seeds...which again is inspired from a Jesus' parable involving the four different soils - conditions of hearts- (good, thorny, rocky & roadside) and the seeds of the truth being planted...
