Answer 1

"We are now a mighty nation, we are thirty—or about thirty millions of people, and we own and inhabit about one-fifteenth part of the dry land of the whole earth. We run our memory back over the pages of history for about eighty-two years and we discover that we were then a very small people in point of numbers, vastly inferior to what we are now, with a vastly less extent of country,—with vastly less of everything we deem desirable among men,—we look upon the change as exceedingly advantageous to us and to our posterity, and we fix upon something that happened away back, as in some way or other being connected with this rise of prosperity. "

If you're quoting a large bulk of wording or speech then you would separate if from the paper with a space and then indent it twice. When offsetting like that you don't have to use quotes, but make sure you still cite it. That's usually how I see it in papers and how I do it if i'm quoting something bulky.
