Oh=oh! Don't do that!
"Anybody offering quotations without an accompanying credit will be hunted down and shot."

Sorry ... couldn't help it ... one of my favourites, along with "73.67% of all statistics are rubbish."

I think breach of copyright is one aspect, best practice another, good manners a third ...

"To ascribe to others but to refrain from authorship is a grave disservice to the intellect of the reader."
 
So whatta we got...three, four unattibuted quotes indicating that it is apropo to identify your quotes?

Do as I say not as I do?

Always nice, if one knows and quotes correctly to provide recognition.

So, referencing/linking to sources is fine. :)
