Quote of the Day widget for Windows
A fixture of nearly every desktop suite ever made, done without a network request: the quotes ship with the app. About 1,700 of them, from philosophers, scientists, writers, programmers and proverbs from around the world, each with the author's country flag. Hundreds come in their original language with an English translation underneath. Choose a category or a country, or take the whole bank, and have the quote change daily (at your local midnight, not UTC's), hourly, or only when you click. Add your own quotes in the settings and the widget uses those instead: team mottos, lines from a book, things your kids said.
