It's basically the best quote from the entire history of CN, so that's not surprising that it was the first and only one I thought of as well.

It's true, how many other CN quotes can do this?

I can't remember who originally found that, but the results count has grown even more since then.

Dear Planet Bob,
I come to speak with an opinion on this here thread. Although many a bright mind have posted their own strong opinions about shaneprice's leaving of the Grand Global Alliance, and then the open trolling and dissing of said alliance, there are reasons that such a member left. Do not think that he was "kicked out" under "stupid reasons". He was let go for he committed a vile act. Shaneprice was convicted of speaking out against the New Pacific Order and also suggesting that the Grand Global Alliance "leave" OneVision. Now one may think that these reasons are "pathetic", but put your alliance in the shoes of the Grand Global Alliance. How would you take it if a member of leadership were to speak out against an ally who has stuck by your alliance since it's birth, or in this case "rebirth"? With that said, shaneprice was given the option to either leave with a partial good note, or be kicked. I, as Chancellor of the Grand Global Alliance, stand by the decisions of our leadership. Shaneprice nearly brought war to the Grand Global Alliance with his little "outburst". Think about it.
~Dephire, Chancellor of the Grand Global Alliance.
Edit: And he tried to delete it despite the next dozen posts quoting it:

How often are those quoted again?
Also, not as quote as much as a motto, but, "break the contract of peace in man's hearts" is pretty good as is, "Beware of the GOONs, They ascend via the unjust path".
Also: "Am I right in guessing that the GOONs are the NPO's lackey?

"Are you Polar too stupid to read" is, unfortunately for my fellow Bob, now chiselled into the immortal stone of CN folklore. (Particularly with that Google thing ... that's pretty awesome.) That will win this competition for years to come. "GOONS ascend via the unjust path" is another one that will be remembered forever, although the broader context of the rant that was in is pretty much forgotten.
Obviously I like the ones in my sig (here and on other boards), and also the one I had in there last:
"Just because he's a hypocrite doesn't mean he's wrong" by Trinite. I wouldn't think those are much quoted though – I sig things which make a good point (or a political one) and which people aren't talking a lot about anyway.
For more modern times, we've been pretty short of memorable snippet quotes. Karma gave us "We will not impose draconian terms" (repeatedly quoted in an attempt to discredit it), the exponential rise in uses of the word 'hegemony', and "rolling the hard six", but nothing which will endure. "I have outlawed the terrorist organisation Vox Populi; the bombing will begin in five minutes" may come back to haunt the NPO but it's not widespread at the moment.

QUOTE
So many nations have nuclear warfare programs running; if every nuke in the world was launched at once, it would surely obliterate our planet. The global radiation would skyrocket to over 500% and all of our environments would be trapped at one star or lower. For the sake of peace and prosperity, a sanction on nuclear warfare must be placed. When a bomb is dropped, it is as though you have attacked everyone else, even your allies.
First thing's first, however, we need to discourage players from dropping the bomb, telling them to use it in a last resort ditch effort. When there are enough nations willing to join, all the team senators may enforce the elimination of at least five nukes with the other nations at their backs. From then we can work our way to a nuclear-free society. Rogue nations would be sanctioned and perma-TIed by the rest of the community.
If we do not do this now, our world will surely whither. Many people would die from exposure, the green fields in our national parks would shrivel, and even those at the equator would need to wear coats at night. We must defend the world we live in from ourselves and work our way to a world without mass destruction caused by overactive atoms.

"Please TOP, don't betray The Grämlins"
Sadly I can't find the topic that contained the sentence.
"This is *Important leader person* Every *Insert alliance members notation* below the rank of *über mofta* is not allowed to post in this topic" Not the correct rank nor person (Sec. Gen. Templar of ODN?). It has at least been repeated many, many times in CN and still is used.

Best ones taken already of course. Whether something like "Posting this will get me warned." (I'm sure everyone remembers what that should say) is considered a quote is questionable, but certainly memorable (and along the lines of "sad but necessary" and "brilliant political move").

Templar was a Senator, another reason why this was funny. At least if he had been SecGen he could have argued he had the authority to do so.
