One of the most powerful ways to begin a presentation is to start by sharing a influential and morable quote that relates to the message of your talk. This can loosen up the beginning, consciously encourage important things while speaking or end the presentation with a meaningful conclusion and underline the main topic again.

This will bring liveliness and power to your presentation and create a more pleasant environment for your audience!

Quotes can be funny, inspirational, profound, successful, motivational, meaningless or basically everything! The most important thing is that they fit the today´s topic, correspond to the situation. This means, that they are appropriate and reinforce the actual theme.

If you are looking for great lines you can use in your PowerPoint or other presentations, you are perfectly right here! Read the following article to get inspired and to find a suitable citation you can use for your speech in school, work, business or anywhere and to leave an unforgettable impression on your presentation.

How to Design a Great Quotes Presentation Slide in PowerPoint for 2024

Planning to use presentation quotes? Use quotes in your PowerPoint presentation to motivate your audience. 

It can get them to see the topic in a completely new light. A quote slide is also an interesting way to introduce your topic. It can start your presentation in an engaging way.

But how do you design a great quote presentation slide? We’ll answer that question in this article. We'll also share the benefits of using quote slides. You'll also find tips for customizing a quote for a PowerPoint template .

Jump to content in this section:

Benefits of Using Quote Slides

Creative ideas for displaying quotes in powerpoint slides, how to customize a quote slide design in powerpoint, 5 great quotes presentation templates, the best source for powerpoint templates (with unlimited use), learn more about microsoft powerpoint, easily find powerpoint templates, design a great quotes slide for your powerpoint presentation.

As mentioned earlier, quote slides can be used to motivate your audience. They can introduce the topic you’re going to cover too. But there are a few other benefits to using quote slides in your PowerPoint presentation:

• A great quote adds credibility . Add a quote by an industry expert to back up the main points of your presentation. 
• An interesting quote can help you create a more engaging presentation . It can spark conversation or makes the audience ask questions. A quote is a great way to shake things up and make your presentation memorable.
• Great quotes serve as a source of inspiration . What if your topic doesn't rely on data, charts, and information? Maybe it is meant to inform or encourage a change. An inspiring quote could be just what you need to get people to take action.

With a little bit of creativity, you can display quotes in PowerPoint slides in many different ways:

1. Use a Full Color Background

One of the easiest ways to display a quote in your presentation is to use a full color background. All you've got to do is change the background color of the slide. Then add text that uses a contrasting color.

For example, the this template has a solid white text slide. Change the color of the background and the text. It's an easy way to create a visually appealing PowerPoint quote slide. 

2. Play With the Watercolor Effect

Here's another way to make your quote slide look visually appealing. Try adding a watercolor background behind the text. Take cues from this watercolor template on Envato Elements . Easily replace one of the statistic boxes with a quote of your own. Then, adjust the size of the watercolor background behind it. 

3. Use a Photo With a Color Overlay

A solid color background will do the trick and make your PowerPoint quote stand out. But why not take it a step further? 

Simply add a photo as the background for the slide. Then add a shape on top of the photo. Play with the opacity to get the image to show through. The last step is to add your quote and ensure it’s easy to read.

This PowerPoint template already has a slide with all the elements in place. So, all you’d need to do is add your own quote. 

4. Sometimes Less is More

Check out these examples of presentation quotes. Don't they look dramatic?

Sometimes, less really is more. These quotes are on a high contrast background. They don't need any bells or whistles to get their message across. 

This design approach can be a particularly good idea with serious subject matter. Think about the tone that you want to convey.

If the quotes on the presentation are meant to be lighthearted, go colorful. If it's meant to have a more somber tone, keep it clean and simple.

5. Add a Shape to Create a Quote Box

This trick makes use of a couple of ideas shared earlier and combines them into one.

Add a photo as the background for the slide and then add a shape like before along with your quote. But this time leave the edges of the photo visible to create an interesting border around your quote box. 

The WindWard PowerPoint template is a good example of how to achieve this effect.

6. Combine the Quote With the Author Photo

If you've got many quotes to include, you can include the photo of the quote author. You can use this idea in several ways: 

• Use the photo of the author as the slide background and apply a color overlay, then add the quote on top.
• Use a split layout design and put the quote and the photo of the author side by side.
• Create three columns and use one for the actual quote. Use the second column for the photo of the author. The third column could be for a relevant statistic related to the topic or quote.

For example, you can create a slide like the one featured in the Hilo template :

7. Add Colored Borders

You can also play around with shapes and add a rectangle at the top and bottom of the slide. Change the colors of the rectangles and then add the quote in between. Take inspiration from the Melt PowerPoint template from Envato Elements.

8. Use a Ribbon Banner

If you don’t want to use a photo or a full colored background, a simple shape can be effective as well.

For example, you could use the built-in ribbon banner to display your quote. Check out this example. 

Fun, banner like shapes can really draw extra attention to keywords and quotes.

It doesn't have to be a straight rectangle either. Notice how some simple rotation can add some whimsy. You can also try working with abstract shapes.

9. Use a Speech Bubble

Is your presentation is geared towards a younger audience? Or maybe you’re not dealing with a serious topic?

You could consider a speech bubble to display your quote. Luckily, PowerPoint comes with several callout shapes. You can use them to create a speech bubble. Try it next to a photo of the person you're quoting.

You can also dress the speech bubble concept up, if you're going for a more formal look. Take a look at this example. We have some implied speech bubble shapes. They're sleek, stylish, and worked into a classy, clean aesthetic.

10. Contrast Commands Attention

One of the best ways to catch the viewer's eye is with contrast.

Notice how placing white text on a black background, in this example, really stands out. 

You can really experiment with this idea in many ways. For example, it can be an excellent way to draw emphasis to the person who said the quote. Or, if you want the quote itself to the focal point, you can use contrast in a similar way.

11. Use Text Size to Your Advantage

Check out this fun, stylish example. Notice the role that the font plays here. The larger the font, the more emphasis it commands.

 If your quote is meant to be smaller and more supplemental, keep it smaller. If the quote is meant to be the focus of your slide, consider making it large.

Gauge the size based on the design and the length of the text. You may want supplemental text to be smaller. This would apply to things like the name of the person being quoted.

12. Color Can Also Craft an Experience

Check out this fun, colorful example. You can use color to make specific parts of your quote stand out. 

For example, maybe you want to draw attention to the end of a quote. Try doing so in a supplemental color. Think of it similarly to adding bolds or italics to your type.

Color can have a similar impact. Use it for inflection or use it to make a specific part more impactful. But make sure the color choices still make sense with the presentation overall branding and color scheme.

You’ve seen several creative ideas for presenting PowerPoint quote slides in PowerPoint. Next, let’s look at how you can customize a quote slide design with a premium PowerPoint template. For the purposes of this tutorial, I’ll be using the Monstera template from Envato Elements. 

This template features a creative design. It comes with more than 90 slides. They are all are based on master slides. Let’s take a look at how you can quickly customize a quote slide in PowerPoint:

1. Choose Your Slide

The first step is to choose which slide you’re going to use for your quote slide. First, switch to the Slide Sorter view by clicking on the View tab so you can see all the different slide designs side by side. Then, select the slide design you want to use as a starting point. For example, I’ll use the slide #24 for this tutorial. 

2. Add Your Quote

Double-click your chosen slide and PowerPoint will take you directly to it. As you can see, this slide has a photo on the left and plenty of space on the right to add the quote. To add your quote, double-click the text, press CTRL+A to select all the dummy text and then delete it. Then type in your quote as well as the author’s name. 

3. Add the Author’s Photo

The next step is to add the author’s photo. All you've got to do is click the photo icon and then locate the photo on your computer. Click Insert and the photo is added to the placeholder. 

4. Customize the Text

Once you’ve added the photo, you can further style and tweak your quote slide. Start by customizing the text of the quote. You can change the font as well as the size.

In this example, I’ve increased the size of the text and set it to italic. If you want to change the font, simply highlight the text. Then choose a different font from the drop-down menu on the Home tab. 

5. Adjust Colors

Finally, you can also change the color of the background where your quote is. To do this, right-click on the background and select Format shape . Then under the Fill option, click on Solid Fill . Then choose a different color from the premade color scheme or enter your own hex color code.

Whether you’re looking to inspire your audience, need a strong presentation starter, or want a concise soundbite to end your presentation with, using a quote in your presentation can be a great way to support your slides’ story and enhance your presentation’s flow. Presentation quotes give you – as the presenter – a moment to breathe, while the audience is reading the slide ( a reminder of why you shouldn’t be reading your quotes aloud is here ). They enable your audience to quickly and concisely understand your presentation’s key message, and give you an extra boost of credibility to boot.

The struggle comes when you have to find presentation quotes that fit your story, come from a reputable source, and have an attribution to get you through legal and compliance checks. But worry not: BrightCarbon have done the hard work for you!

We have compiled 50 presentation quotes and categorized them into 10 themes so that you can easily find a quote that resonates with your message, be it in a sales presentation, keynote speech, or training deck. All the quotes include references and attributions, so that you can sail through compliance and get on with creating a stunning presentation!

Pop this in your bookmarks tab (you’ll thank us later!), then dig in and find the perfect presentation quotes below:

55 Powerful and Inspiring Quotes to Start Your Presentation

Have you ever stopped to think about the best strategies to start a presentation and gain the audience’s attention or interlocutor? Did you know that using motivational phrases to create a presentation is a great alternative?

According to businessman and filmmaker Peter Davies,

“Motivation is like food for the brain; you can’t have enough at a meal. Motivation needs continuous and regular recharges to nurture deep and transform a human being into a winner.”

Among the techniques you can and should use, the citation should undoubtedly be among the main in your list.

A relevant quote, which is aligned with the theme of its presentation, tied to the purpose and objective, creates a strong connection with the audience, often arousing interest and attention.

An unforgettable introduction is the first step in starting a presentation or speech. Often, we are focused only on the content presented, completely forgetting that, for the public to pay attention, it is necessary to arrest them from the beginning.

5 Best Techniques to start a Presentation or Speech

However, an important point to consider when speaking in public: Citations will depend on the style of the audience, and the moment the presenter lives. Do not push too hard or adopt a tone of voice or language that does not suit the public.

A touch of humor is a great way to break the ice with the audience, relieve tension and connect with everyone. As the example given above quote, the key to success is making the joke related to the topic being discussed.

During the presentation, telling a story is another very clever way to start a speech.  After all, stories compellingly connect people.

‘s content.

This technique consists of giving a brief thought-provoking statement, which will set the tone of the presentation theme, especially if this is said with a strong voice, which draws attention and leaves the group ready to hear what’s next.

In this sense, an example of an excellent way to catch the public’s attention is to say the sentence and pause, up to 10 seconds. 

Using surprising statistics will show the public an immediate value in their knowledge, leaving them more interested throughout their presentation. 

It also helps stimulate the audience’s thoughts; this technique works very well when the facts reported are not common knowledge but are nevertheless relevant and stimulating.

Please make sure to be brief in the opening statement, so your opening won’t get too many easy-to-forget details.

1. “Success is most often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.” Coco Chanel

6. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Maya Angelou

8. Innovation, as I understand it, is both about doing different things as well as doing things differently.” Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

When we choose the course we want to take in college, we often choose a course that our parents choose, and that doesn’t make us happy, which we shouldn’t do because we are supposed to live for ourselves and our happiness.

19 Quotes That Will Inspire You To Create An Amazing Presentation

Stuck in powerpoint purgatory start with this great advice.

I've been reading a great book about presenting:   Nancy Duarte's HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations . And it's reinforcing my experience that the key to an effective presentation is not flashy slides--it's a compelling, well-told story.

As Ms. Duarte says: "My best advice is not to start in PowerPoint. Presentation tools force you to think through information linearly, and you really need to start by thinking of the whole instead of the individual lines."

Here are 19 other inspiring quotes to consider next time you need to create a presentation:

• " Designing a presentation without an audience in mind is like writing a love letter and addressing it 'to whom it may concern." - Ken Haemer
• "The whole purpose is to enable people to learn. Your mission is not to transmit information but to transform learners." - Harold D. Stolovitch and Erica J. Keeps
• "If you can't write your message in a sentence, you can't say it in an hour." -Dianna Booher  
• "The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge you send but by what the listener receives." - Lilly Walters
• "If you don't know what you want to achieve in your presentation your audience never will." - Harvey Diamond
• "They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." - Carl W. Buechner
• "No one can remember more than three points."?- Philip Crosby
• "Ask yourself, 'If I had only sixty seconds on the stage, what would I absolutely have to say to get my message across."? - Jeff Dewar
•  "The simplest way to customize is to phone members of the audience in advance and ask them what they expect from your session and why they expect it. Then use their quotes throughout your presentation."?- Alan Pease
• "Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much. "?Robert Greenleaf
• "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein
• "Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening."?- Dorothy Sarnoff
• "Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all."?- Sir Winston Churchill
• "The brain doesn't pay attention to boring things." - John Medina
• "Performance is not about getting your act together, but about opening up to the energy of the audience." - Benjamin Zander
• "People don't remember what we think is important. They remember what they think is important." - John Maxwell
• "Naturally sticky ideas are stuffed full of concrete words and images." - Chip Heath
• "A great presentation gives smart ideas an advantage." - Nancy Duarte
• "If you think presentations cannot enchant people, then you have never seen a really good one." - Guy Kawaski

Add Multiple Quotes in your PowerPoint Presentation

Client quotes slides.

Customer testimonials can make a real difference when talking with prospects. Use the client quotes slides to display top customer reviews in your sales presentations. For maximum impact, try to find reviews where customers share their experiences with your product or service and how it made their lives better.

Multiple Quote Slide for Influencers

Another group of people you can ask for a testimonial to is influencers. These are famous people like celebrities with a huge following or industry experts that can give some words on the benefits of using your products. Having these quotes from influential people can really make a difference in your sales pitch, so use them wisely.

PowerPoint Slide with Two Quotes

If you feel the previous quote slides were too structured for your taste, check out this one. The PowerPoint slide with two quotes is not your traditional testimonial slide. Here you can place your quotes as a conversation or dialogue between two people. For example, you can recreate a real conversation from your focus group and address your customer’s problems. This is a creative way to insert quotes into a presentation.  

How to present quotes in PowerPoint?

The best way to show quotes in PowerPoint is by using clean slides with little or no visual distractions on them. Make sure to add people’s names, their roles and the company they work for.

Creative Quote Slides

The Multiple Quotes PowerPoint templates follows a creative design style that includes people’s illustrations. You can use them next to each quote as a representation of the person who said it.

Using quotes in PPT presentations enhances your credibility.

This happens because quotes in presentations work like social proof that give your audience one more reason to believe in your words.

Public speaking quotes: funny, inspiring insights for your presentation.

June 2, 2014

by Andy Saks

Over many years as a professional presenter and speaker, I’ve accumulated a treasure trove of funny, inspiring, insightful public speaking quotes.

These quotes are near and dear to my heart. They’ve helped me immensely, and helped me help others.

Some date back to biblical times. Others are hot off the Twitter press.

Sometimes I show them in a looping slideshow to warm up an audience before a keynote speech or presentation skills training program.

Other times I peek at them when I need some inspiration myself.

And here they are, for the first time, categorized and alphabetized for your presentation pleasure.

Which quotes make you laugh? Which inspire you? Which rub you the wrong way? Which of your favorites should I add? Which did you use in your presentation? Tell me by sharing your comment at the bottom of the page.

QUOTES FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING ANXIETY / FEAR

“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than delivering the eulogy.” – Jerry Seinfeld

“All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears, of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark, or speaking before the Rotary Club, or the words ‘some assembly required.’” – Dave Barry

“…and from the first moment that I ever walked on stage in front of a darkened auditorium with a couple of hundred people sitting there, I was never afraid, I was never fearful, I didn’t suffer from stage fright, because I felt so safe on that stage. I wasn’t Patrick Stewart, I wasn’t in the environment that frightened me, I was pretending to be someone else, and I liked the other people I pretended to be. So I felt nothing but security for being on stage. And I think that’s what drew me to this strange job of playing make-believe.” — Patrick Stewart

“Feel the fear of public speaking and do it anyway.” – Arvee Robinson

“I was dreading winning. I didn’t even prepare an acceptance speech. I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was petrified.” – Leonardo DiCaprio (at the 1998 Academy Awards)

“Open your ears before you open your mouth; it may surprise your eyes!” – Earl Nightingale

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

“In the preaching moment, there is a liminal moment in which is dawns on you standing there that yes, there is something more going on here that I did not anticipate…You feed of the congregation, because black preaching is so dialogical.

Or you can use a more appealing design, like this one. More specifically, this quotation template already comes with the general text placeholders you need: company name, address, quotation number, name of the customer, etc. And instead of a table, text boxes with rounded corners will embed your budget details (e.g., description, quantity, unit price, total cost, tax, and total budget).

They can set the tone, evoke emotions , and reinforce your message. Need a Presentation Designed? Click Here To View Our Amazing Portfolio In this blog, we will explore using quotes to influence your audience during a presentation. The Power of Quotes Quotes can captivate and influence your audience in various ways. They can elevate your presentation to a whole new level when used strategically. Here are some key ways in which quotes hold immense power: Setting the Tone Quotes can help you set the right tone for your presentation. For instance, an inspirational quote can create a positive and uplifting atmosphere, while a humorous quote can add levity and create a relaxed environment. The tone you set at the beginning of your presentation can greatly impact your audience’s receptiveness to your message, and quotes can be a powerful tool in achieving that. Eliciting Emotions Quotes can evoke emotions in your audience, making your presentation more memorable and impactful. Whether through a touching story, a heartfelt testimonial, or a powerful statement, quotes can tug at the heartstrings of your audience, helping them connect with your message on a deeper level. Emotionally charged quotes can make your presentation more relatable, engaging, and compelling. Adding Credibility Quotes from influential figures or reputable sources can add credibility and authority to your presentation. By referencing experts, industry leaders, or renowned individuals, you can strengthen your arguments and lend more weight to your message. Quotes can act as evidence or proof to support your claims, making your presentation more convincing. Concise Communication Quotes are often concise and impactful, conveying a powerful message in just a few words. Attention spans are becoming shorter and quotes are effective tools to communicate key ideas succinctly. They can help you convey complex concepts or ideas in a memorable and easily digestible manner, keeping your audience engaged and attentive. Memorable Impact A well-chosen quote can leave a lasting impact on your audience. When you use a quote that resonates with your audience, it becomes memorable, and your audience is more likely to remember and recall your message long after the presentation. Quotes can help you make a lasting impression and ensure a memorable and impactful presentation. Best Practices for Using Quotes in Your Presentation While quotes can be a powerful tool in your presentation, it’s important to use them effectively and appropriately. Here are some best practices to keep in mind when incorporating quotes into your presentation: Know Your Audience Consider your audience’s demographics, preferences, and context when selecting quotes. Choose relevant quotes that resonate with your specific audience. Avoid ones that may be offensive, controversial, or irrelevant to your audience, as they may detract from your message. Use Reliable Sources Ensure that the quotes you use are from reputable and reliable sources. Moreover, attribute the quote to the original author or speaker, and provide proper citations if needed. Avoid using quotes from anonymous or unknown sources, as they may lack credibility. Keep it Concise Choose quotes that are concise and impactful. Avoid lengthy ones that may dilute your message or lose your audience’s attention. Instead, opt for ones that can be easily understood and remembered, and that align with the overall flow of your presentation. Contextualize the Quote Provide context when using a quote to help your audience understand its relevance to your presentation. Explain how the quote supports your message or relates to the topic. Avoid using quotes out of context, as they may confuse or mislead your audience. Practice Delivery Practice delivering your quotes with proper tone, emphasis, and timing. Use appropriate gestures, facial expressions, and vocal inflections to enhance the impact of the quotes. Avoid rushing through them or reading them monotonously, as they may lose their intended effect. Use Variety Incorporate a variety of quotes in your presentation, including inspirational, motivational, humorous, and thought-provoking quotes. Mix up the type of quotes you use to keep your audience engaged and add depth and diversity to your presentation. Be Authentic Choose quotes that resonate with your style and voice. Avoid using ones that feel forced or insincere, as they may come across as inauthentic. Rather, use ones that genuinely reflect your beliefs and values to connect with your audience on a deeper level. Practice Proper Attribution Always give credit to the original author or speaker of the quote. Avoid taking credit for someone else’s words or ideas. Use proper attribution methods, including the author’s name, title, and source, to acknowledge and honor their work. Using quotes strategically and effectively in your presentations can be a game-changer. By following best practices and incorporating powerful quotes into your presentation, you can connect with your audience more and leave a lasting impact that influences and inspires.

Public Speaking Quotes For Presentations We have compiled some of our favorite public speaking quotes, quips, fun stories and ideas for you to use in your next presentation., all the great speakers were bad speakers at first., – ralph waldo emerson (1803-1882), “when i go hear a man speak, i like to hear him speak like he’s fighting a swarm of bees.”, – abraham lincoln, speeches measured by the hour die with the hour. (1824), – thomas jefferson  (1743-1826) (1803-1882), quit boring your audience, three points to speaking:. That is a great format for presenters, however, most speakers: Tell the Audience how the are going to bore them.  Then they bore them.  Then they told them how they bored them! Hint for speakers: If you don’t strike oil in 20 minutes, quit boring. As a lady left church one Sunday morning, she gave the preacher a dead fish handshake and said, “That was a warm sermon.” “A warm sermon?” he questioned. “Yes,” she replied.  “NOT SO HOT.” There are three kinds of speakers: Use Relevant Stories in Your Presentation Awareness: A politician addressed the inmates of an insane asylum, he began with his usual introduction, “Why are we all here?” To which one resident responded by punching his neighbor and whispering, “We are all here because we aren’t all here [there]!” Awareness: Always be aware of the setting of your speech. One preacher concluded a beautiful wedding ceremony with: “You may now all come forward and view the body.” He had forgotten his purpose. A speaker should know what he is talking about-as illustrated by the following story: West Texas family returned from the grocery store one Saturday morning with some groceries which they left on the table while they went out. While they were gone, their pet parrot flew into the kitchen and ate a whole roll of baloney. Fully gorged, he waddled out the door and climbed onto the handle of the old pump and dozed off. Meanwhile, a thunderstorm blew in and a big clap of nearby thunder frightened the parrot. When he tried to jump off the pump, the handle flew up and knocked him down. The parrot looked up and said, ”It just goes to show you, you shouldn’t fly off the handle when you’re full of baloney.” One speaker had this to say about his invitation to speak: “There’s an interesting background to my speaking invitation. They wanted to get the most eloquent speaker available, but he declined; so next they wanted to invite the best educated speaker around, but he wouldn’t come; finally, they decided to invite the best looking speaker in the area, and, you know, when they asked me the third time, I just couldn’t turn them down three times in a row!!!

Remain in the simplicity of the present moment. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche 143 When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their follow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them. — Saint John Chrysostom 133 The costs of your good habits are in the present. The costs of your bad habits are in the future. — James Clear 83 Rarely are opportunities presented to you in a perfect way. In a nice little box with a yellow bow on top.

They challenge you. — Susan Wojcicki 77 If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future. — Therese of Lisieux 65 The fundamental engineering feature of the fiat system is that it treats future promises of money as if they were as good as present money because the government guarantees these promises. — Saifedean Ammous 62 Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.

I ended up getting both presents for Christmas. — Chris Brown 50 They know the outward shows of this life present but of the next life are they careless.

For conservative people the present is the end of the past. — Karl Mannheim 36 What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end.

Frankl 176 If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past. — Baruch Spinoza 166 I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.

And a nap. Mostly a nap. — Townes Van Zandt 102 The past is over; the present is fleeting; we live in the future. — Ray Kurzweil 100 One has to live in the present.

The future is a deceitful time that always says to us, 'Not Yet,' and thus denies us...

It’s the source of all happiness. — Naval Ravikant 76 The Present is the womb of the future. A greater future happiness can be had only by investing in the present correctly. Look after the present and the future will look after itself. — Chinmayananda Saraswati 75 If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present. — Roy T. Bennett 73 We should be happy now, not in the future.

We designate direct quotes using quotation marks and we provide attribution through a citation to text from which you drew the quote.   Whether you are using a library catalog, article/research database, Google Scholar, or a generative AI tool to identify information you will always need to cite your source--author, place of publication, date of publication, page numbers, URLs. Another reader should be able to find their way to your source. You may want to review the Penn Libraries' guide to AI Ethics and Pitfalls .

The Chicago Manual of Style recommends pointing to a public and digitally archived copy of your AI transcript. Cite the tool or publisher in your text or in a note but generally not in your bibliography. AI is not an author. You are the author and responsible for the validity of your content.

Original text Moving beyond an anticorporate focus, the CFS movement recognizes community gardens as "commons ... that expand and deepen cultural and ecological vision and mold citizenship" (DeLind 2002, 222). from Baker, Lauren E. "Tending cultural landscapes and food citizenship in Toronto's community gardens." The Geographical Review , vol. 94, no. 3, 2004, p. 305-325. Community gardens are more than spaces to grow food. They are also spaces "that expand and deepen cultural and ecological vision and mold citizenship" (DeLind 2002, 222). This quote is plagiarism because it presents the article author's research as the writer's own research. The best scholarly practice would be to read the DeLind article, choose your own selection from it for your analysis, and then cite DeLind. Otherwise you need to cite that it is quoted in the Baker article. Not Plagiarism Community gardens are more than spaces to grow food. As Laura DeLind says, they also "expand and deepen cultural and ecological vision and mold citizenship" (qtd. in Baker, 309). << Previous: Understanding a citation Next: Examples of Paraphrase >> Last Updated: Sep 3, 2024 2:09 PM URL: https://guides.library.upenn.edu/c.php?g=1420588 240 IMAGES Quote slides in presentations Quote Template for PowerPoint Presentation 50 Powerful Quotes To Start Your Presentation “The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge Quotes To Inspire Your Next Presentation 15+ Presentation Quotes VIDEO Health essay presentation with quotations for class 10th @learn4learningofficial 10th class Summary "Peace" Libraries essay presentation with quotations 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 for class 10th @learn4learning A true Muslim essay with quotations how to add quotations and references in long questions (English) Essay " SPORTS AND GAMES" with quotations || Best👍 Presentation🤩 || @SubjectiveKnowledgebySaba COMMENTS 60 Quotes for PowerPoint Presentations (2022) A screen presentation is a graphic support and accompaniment to a spoken presentation.
