I posted this on the Char Devel boards, but there isnt enough traffic over there, so I'm posting it here too.
Working from the premise that a Cleric can be faithful to an idea rather than a diety, I have been compiling a list of common cliches and the Cleric domains to support them. If anyone can contribute, I would greatly appreciate it. Here's what I have so far.

Time heals all wounds: Time & healing
All in due time: Time & Travel
Knowledge is Power: Knowledge & Domination
The Truth will set you free:(I know there is something, I just can't think of anything)
I think therefore I am: Knowledge & Destiny
Bringing Order out of Chaos: Planning & Chaos
No man is an island: Community & Water
Fools Rush in: Celerity & Trickery
Haste makes Waste: Celerity & Destruction
Safety in Numbers/We shall overcome: Community & Destiny

Opposites Attract ( for a the cliche theme )

Holy Symbol Yin-Yang
Domains: Any 2 Opposing Domains
i.e Law & Chaos; Fire & Water; Good & Evil

I don’t know that cliché expressions rise to the level of ideals worthy of granting divine power, but for fun:

Never look a gift horse in the mouth: Avarice or Trade and Animal domains
It’s always darkest before the dawn: Darkness and Sun domains
The best defense is a good offence: Force and Strength domains
Six of one/half dozen of the other: Balance and Knowledge domains

In my homespun world there is a god of wanderers, adventurers and travelers. When parting, clergy/faithful of Balfore would start with one saying, "May your road be long." and the other would reply, "And may your boots wear thin."

Probably what you're not looking for, but can use it if you'd like. :)
