Great Quotations

Sometimes, there is no need to expand on quotations because the quotation does all the work for you.  I found all these quotations when I searched for quotations on "fulfillment" on the internet.  The internet is an amazing place, really.  We should all make an effort to gather all the best resources of the internet and save it in places, like a squirrel burying all his nuts for winter.  An apt analogy, I hope you'll agree.  Here they are... please enjoy!
