Essay & Composition Writing
Citing a source (MLA)
I'm writing a research paper on Warren Buffett. In the beginning of my essay I started it off with this quote by Warren Buffett himself.
"If your're in the luckiest one percent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 percent"
Ok, so basically my question is, when you normally site something you put the author of the source right before the period and whatever is in the parentheses should match up with your works cited page.
However, how do I cite something that's spoken by Buffett himself? The quote can be found on many different websites. Help please! thanks!!

Pick a website and cite (not "site") that as the source. If you not including a "Works Cited" page, you could simply run your citation the URL of the website and the date you collected the information in behind the name. (This is not exactly MLA style).
