One can agree to the fact that quotes are very useful to make our language sound and read more effective and impactful. Not to forget, it makes the opposite person think of you as a wise person well. While some may only use quotes to caption an image once in a bit on social media, quotations hold way more weight than that. Daily conversations with colleagues and seniors, writing an end moment SOP or if you are just a student in a school or university, you should always carry a stock of daily quotes that come in handy at all times! 

Let us help you with some!
