Ok I have to be a word-nerd here and point out that the correct word is "quotation."  ;D

QUOTE is a verb.

"The future you had yesterday, won't be the same future you'll have, tomorrow."

"Eagerness and thrill seeking in others' misery is psychologically corrosive, and is also rampant in EMS. It's a natural danger of the job. It will be something to keep under control, something to fight against."

"If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend 6 sharpening my ax" -Abraham Lincoln

"Hell is the person you are, someday meeting the person you could have been" -John Crowe

"Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security" -Benjamin Franklin

And my favorite from Roosevelt:
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge
