Quoting someone is a way to show agreement, disagreement or simply to add emphasis. There are times when it’s hard to come up with the right words to express what we’re feeling. This compilation of quotes is designed to help you out in those situations and give you some inspiration for your business ventures. So go ahead and read on – we promise you’ll find something worth quoting!
