<p>This <a href="http://stevegilham.blogspot.com/2009/07/anime-eden-of-east.html">blogpost</a> has a transcript of all of the text from the opening. Not all of them are famous quotes.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"<em>I saw you in Heaven
  and heard of your glory
  You saved our world from the fallen angels
  I saw Messiah standing
  Standing before me with no words
  Nothing but "Hope"
  When we lost dread, a Demon was laughing 
  But now you are showing us wonder
  Giving your love
  With awe, down on my knees again
  I've got to know you're the one
  The only one reveals the world</em>" </p>
</blockquote>

<p>This is repeated multiple times throughout the OP and seems to be part of the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO28pvdkyJI">東のエデン挿入歌「Reveal The World」</a></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"<em>The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.</em>" </p>
</blockquote>

<p>As you've noted, it's <a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quote/17932/">Brutus from Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare</a>.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"<em>Mail<br>
  Own date<br>
  Media tool<br>
  Appli<br>
  Camera<br>
  Phone book<br>
  Iseg<br>
  Music<br>
  Service<br>
  Setting<br>
  You've got mail<br>
  Calling<br>
  Talking</em>"<br> </p>
</blockquote>

<p>These seem to be options (partially obscured) of the phone.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"<em>Let me walk with you when I'm lost in the wild
  I know you always lead me to another Eden
  Let me bless your name, O Lord, O Lord
  Your words will never fade away
  Since we believe you're the light on earth
  Reveals the world</em>" </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Also from the "Reveal the world" song lyrics.</p>

<p>The rest seems to be proper names and instances from the show itself, like "<em>noblesse oblige</em>", and "<em>Juiz</em>", and "<em>Selecao system
12 persons selected in Japan</em>". So the only real quote I guess is from the Julius Caesar play.</p>

"Noblesse oblige" is an old French expression, meaning that being a noble comes with responsibilities. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noblesse_oblige).

<p>Taken from this case noblesse oblige means, "I nobly oblige myself". Otherwise it means the obligations of nobility. </p>

<p>In the Eden of the East opening, there are a lot of quotes from different sources. The only one I know the origin of is "The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power," which is from <em>Julius Caesar</em> by William Shakespeare. I don't know what the other quotes that show up on the screen are from or are in reference to. Can someone tell me?</p>

Also from the "Reveal the world" song lyrics.

The rest seems to be proper names and instances from the show itself, like "*noblesse oblige*", and "*Juiz*", and "*Selecao system
12 persons selected in Japan*". So the only real quote I guess is from the Julius Caesar play.
