Me too. The quotes in CoD actually got really annoying, but a small splash text in the Main Menu wouldn't "get in your face" that much.
If implemented well, it wouldn't be too similar to Minecraft. Also, it would be just incredibly amazing to see something like "42" or "To infinity and beyond!" appearing randomly in the Main Menu.
Or you could just have a rotating cycle of cool or inspiring slogans on the menu screen. There are many ways in which this feature could be utilized, and I think it would add a lot to the menu environment. Not a critical thing to develop, but certainly worth considering in my opinion.
