Summary/Abstract: Due to the versatility and breadth of their message, literary quotations (as well as maxims, aphorisms, etc.) are applied as locus communis in different circumstances. For their correctness, they are accepted as universally applicable norms or rules, which have a value of a law. They are absolutely trusted and accepted without substantiation. However, in legal speeches quotations play only a role of argument auxiliaries. Used appropriately and in moderation, and they help to convince; when overused, on the contrary, they debase a speech.
