"4 Kalki 23:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC) (both this quote and the next ["If you cannot make knowledge your servant, make it your friend"] are very good, but I believe this fits in slightly better with the previous QOTD by Richard Feynman: "It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little more about it...") -->"

"3 because this is highly true. Many would become better if they didn't already believe themselves to be. Very powerful meaning. Zarbon 18:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC) -->"

"1 Kalki 00:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC) with a strong lean toward ZERO; there is very little chance I see of so profoundly STUPID a statement ever being an appropriate choice for QOTD."

"2 Kalki 00:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC) with a lean toward 3, though I consider it a somewhat flawed and prejudicial statement — truth can escape any prison — and any form of confinement — in ways that seem incredible to the dull and dimwitted, and which seem impossible to the oblivious."

"4 Pithy Francoln (talk) 19:55, 11 October 2016 (UTC) This is THE quote that made me want to watch all of the Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey episodes. After hearing this for the first time my mind just melted and I was left happily speechless. I'd love to see it as a quote of the day."

"2 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 23:33, 7 January 2017 (UTC) I do like the quote, and though the connection to the date is somewhat tenuous, I could rank it 3 in the future, but perhaps expanded slightly for context."
