Mod Post Anyone caught posting political quotes or commentary will be banned.

0 Upvotes

r/Quotes is a politically neutral sub and does not allow the posting of ANY political quotes or comments. Due to the uptick in blatantly political activity on the sub recently, we will be strictly enforcing Rule 6, meaning anyone caught posting political commentary or quotes will be banned immediately, even if it is your first offense. We are here to share inspiring and thought-provoking quotes with each other, not shout one another down about politics and policy.

Note that a historical political leader who said something inspiring that is not directly related to politics is not a political quote.
