I am still dabbling with ConTeXt. There is a lot to learn, but it is worth
it. ;-}
At the moment I have (when finished I make a macro of it):
\startframedtext[middle]
\startalignment[middle]
{\bf A goal properly set is halfway reached.}
\stopalignment
\blank[small]
\startalignment[flushright]
{\it Abraham Lincoln}
\stopalignment
\stopframedtext
I want to use this to intersperse my document with citations. It is not bad,
but I like to change two things:
- I would like to use rounded corners
- I would like to use a slightly thicker line to draw the box
How could I accomplish this?

A very interesting read. I changed my macro to:
\define[2]\Citation{
\blank
\startframedtext[middle][
align=middle,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=lightgray,
corner=round,
rulethickness=2bp
]
{\bf #2}
\blank[small]
\rightaligned{\it #1}
\stopframedtext
\blank
}
This results in an even more pleasing effect. (In my opinion.)

You can also use metafun, which plays well with mkiv:

Perfect. That looks much more slick.
I know have defined:
\define[2]\Citation{
\blank
\startframedtext[middle][align=middle,corner=round,rulethickness=2bp]
{\bf #2}
\blank[small]
\rightaligned{\it #1}
\stopframedtext
\blank
}
