I depends purely on whether the quotes fall into public domain. Many, such
as Martin Luther King's famous speech recordings, I think (or hope) are
public domain. I've heard two songs released on fairly successful labels
over the past 20 years that trigger samples of that speech at length.

I would say that a truly anonymous phrase is public domain. Although you
don't always know if something is truly public domain or if someone stole it
and called it anonymous or public domain. An ancient Chinese proverb or
anonymous statement is cool as far as I am concerned.
