In many settings, quotes aren’t necessary and won’t add much to your speech. But in other cases, they border on a necessary. For instance, during weddings, one of the oft-used quotes is taken from First Corinthians 13:1-13. It often says in a few beautiful lines what many speakers feel they could not, even if they were given hundreds of lines.
In short, let the situation dictate whether or not you should use a quote. If you think it would add to your speech, then don’t hold back. If you think it might get a laugh that could warm up an otherwise hostile crowd, then do it. But if you think it’ll be perceived poorly, then don’t bother.
