Essays / Do I even need too use alot of Quotes in a essay? [8]

Hey! I am in the middle of a compare/contrast essay using the declaration of independence and Washington's farewell adress. I got most of the paper down but when I look back they seem to not have much quotes, 1 or 2 of the paragraphs don't even have a single one! Is it important to use quotes alot, or am I just worrying too much....

Thx For Any Input,
GN
