User:Jeffq/Experiments/QotD: May

WARNING: This is an experimental version of Quote of the day/May. It should only be edited for experimental purposes, NOT to propose or vote for quotes of the day.

April << May 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 >> June

We are still developing procedures for selecting quotes of the day. This page is for quote of the day proposals specifically for dates in the month of May, and quotes proposed should ideally have some relation to the day, or persons born on it, though sometimes exceptions can be made for quotes that relate to notable current events. Developing ideas of people or works to quote on specific days can be explored through the Wikipedia page: List of historical anniversaries. The numeric section heading of each date is also a direct link to the Wikipedia list of births, deaths, and other events which occured on that date.

Ranking system:
 * 4 : Excellent - should definitely be used. (Perhaps, at most, only one quote per day should be ranked thus by any user, as to avoid confusions)
 * 3 : Very Good - strong desire to see it used
 * 2 : Good - some desire to see it used.
 * 1 : Acceptable - but with no particular desire to see it used
 * 0 : Not acceptable - not appropriate for use as a quote of the day.

"Say you just can't live that negative way You know what I mean Make way for the positive day Cause it's a new day." ~ Bob Marley (died 11 May 1981), "Positive Vibration", Rastaman Vibration (1976)

 * 2 ~ I did some quick research, and the writing credits for this are to Vincent Ford, but there are indications that Marley simply gave Ford credit for these and other lyrics. Taking up the suggestion for something by Marley I have found a couple that, while not fully sourced as yet, I find plausible and not likely to become disputed. ~ Kalki 22:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

"I don't have prejudice against myself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white." ~ Bob Marley (date of death)

 * 1 Jeff Q (talk) 23:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC). I'd prefer a less weighty quote.

Unto the furthest flood-brim look with me; Then reach on with thy thought till it be drown'd. Miles and miles distant though the last line be, And though thy soul sail leagues and leagues beyond,— Still, leagues beyond those leagues, there is more sea. ~ Dante Gabriel Rossetti ~ (date of birth)
