To set the overall size of text in your document, pass it to your \texttt{documentclass} command as an option. For most classes (\texttt{article}, \texttt{book}, \texttt{report}, \texttt{letter}, and \texttt{proc}), the default font size is 10 pt, but 11pt and 12 pt are also available.
These same classes also have \texttt{ext} versions (\texttt{extarticle}, \texttt{extbook}, and so forth). With these classes, the other available size options are 8pt, 9pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt.
The default for the \texttt{memoir} class is 10pt, and the other available options are 9pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt, 25pt, 30pt, 36pt, 48pt, and 60pt.
The default for the the \texttt{beamer} class is 11pt, and the other available options are 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt.

There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary.

\subsection{Customizing Quotations with the \texttt{quoting} Package}
As you can see in the above examples, the indentation is not consistent in those environments, and neither of them provide a good means of providing an attribution, which is commonly typeset as right-justified. The \texttt{quoting} package provides a number of options which are not available within the default environments of \LaTeX{}. However, it still does not provide a means of attributing the quotations. The best way may be to do it outside of whichever quotations environment you end up using.

As you might expect, \LaTeX{} excels at typesetting symbols. Below is a \textbf{short} list of the symbols available in \LaTeX{}. Keep in mind that they may have different commands in text mode than in math mode, and that they will also appear differently in those two modes due to the different fonts those modes use.
