I need to write an in-class paragraph tomorrow and I require assistance.

I have to write about the quote "He conquers, who conquers himself." I have to explain what I think it means and to what extent it applies to everyday life. Also, I must include quotations, which leads me to my need for assistance - how do I include quotations?

I should like to include the "He conquers...himself" quote, since that's what I'm writing about, and I'd also like to include these quotes:

"He who knows others is learned; he who knows himself is wise." - Lao-Tse
"Though one man conquers a thousand times a thousand men in battle, he who conquers himself is the greatest warrior." - Buddha
And possibly this one: "No man is free who is not master of himself." - Epictetus

Any advice?
 
Once you're able to do the thing yourself, you'll conquer the assignment 😉

A paragraph and you want to include all those quotes?!
 
I'm wallowing in an abundance of quotes, can somebody tell me how I can put them in?

Do I just introduce it as "...so-and-so once said that..."?

On second thought, that sounds terrible.
 
Its a paragraph man. Just those quotes is a paragraph. I'd stick to using 2 or 3 quotes. Try to make them about slightly different things, rather than 1.
