"4 ♞☮♌︎Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 14:20, 22 November 2012 (UTC) but extended, and corrected to read: "The brain is waking and with it the mind is returning. It is as if the Milky Way entered upon some cosmic dance. Swiftly the head mass becomes an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern, always a meaningful pattern though never an abiding one; a shifting harmony of subpatterns. Now as the waking body rouses, subpatterns of this great harmony of activity stretch down into the unlit tracks of the stalk-piece of the scheme. Strings of flashing and travelling sparks engage the lengths of it. This means that the body is up and rises to meet its waking day." -->"

"4 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 13:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC) 3 Kalki 20:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC) with a strong lean toward 4, even though this is very similar to statements by Jiddu Krishnamurti, whose thoughts Lee did study, and appears to be derived from them, or extensions upon them, as are a few other statements Lee is credited with."
"2 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 22:15, 26 October 2015 (UTC) This and several others of Roosevelt I certainly agree with, but there are other more impressive statements by him and others on the page, thus I give this and a few other suggestions only a 2 at this time."

"0 Kalki 22:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC) 2 Kalki 00:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC) Though part of the statement is valid, the quote makes several deplorable presumptions, and is an authoritarian argument by one of the servants of one of the vilest regimes in human history. I cannot agree that this is acceptable as a quote of the day here."

"4 because under the worst conditions, one man can steer better than thousands. This is a nice dynamic comparison between the living conditions of that era and the job duty of a naval officer. Zarbon 16:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)"

"3 Kalki 23:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC) with very strong lean toward 4. 4 Kalki 00:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC) I'm inclined to use this one this year in this fuller form despite having previously used the most commonly quoted portion of it a few years ago. 2 ~ Kalki 21:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC) but would prefer something else this year, as the major portion of this was just recently used last month (September 2005)."

"1 because I didn't know it had already been used. I personally love this quote because it's important to never be caught off guard and always be prepared. The message is one of my favorites, but the fact that the initial message was already used, I don't see the purpose of putting it up again, just for "I have always been fond of the West African proverb"...that part was duly taken out...it isn't the part that holds meaning and it's the entering, if you will, into the quote...I would normally have given this a 4, but since it was already used, I don't see the point.
