If the search engine had no related results, either we don't have your quote or the word as spelled does not exist in the quote. Enter that word into the search box below, and see what you find. "Beholder" would not succeed, as it is not in the original quote. In the above example, "beauty" would be a good one, as would "behold" (a word root). Select one unique word or word root from your quote for which you can search. The Quoteland search engine will often help you track down the words you're looking for with ease. "Remember how in that communion only, beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a reality), and bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if mortal man may." Is actually a paraphrase of a statement by Plato: This is even more true of exceptionally common quotes. In order to track down the quote, you need to be open to the possibility that the wording, or even the entire quote, is utterly different than how you remember it. And what you do remember often changes in wording over time - the thing that you remember is the essence of the remark. It's almost impossible to remember something you hear verbatim.
The following is the best procedure to tracking down a quote. Sometimes it's as easy as a simple search, and other times it takes more elbow grease. Identifying a quote is fun and interesting. Few people, though, have the answer to that oft asked question: Who said it? Most people have a favorite quotation that they use whenever they can.
