What is Random Quote Generator?

Forty-two quotations ship with the page, each stored as the line and the person it is attributed to — Steve Jobs, Eleanor Roosevelt, Confucius, Wayne Gretzky and a handful of proverbs that are attributed to a tradition rather than a person. The Count field runs from 1 to 20 and the draw suppresses repeats, so asking for forty-two is not possible and asking for twenty gives twenty distinct lines with no duplication to trim. Output is wrapped in quotation marks and followed by an em dash and the author, ready to paste. Treat the attributions as what the collection claims rather than verified scholarship: several are paraphrases or popular renderings, and one line in particular circulates with a contested source.

Get a random inspirational or thought-provoking quote from a curated collection of famous minds. Perfect for daily motivation, presentation openers and social posts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the attributions accurate?
They are what the bundled collection states. Some of these lines are well documented, others are popular paraphrases or circulate with a disputed or anonymous source. Verify anything you are going to publish under a specific person's name.
Why is the limit twenty when there are forty-two quotes?
Because repeats are suppressed and the count field tops out at 20. Running the generator twice will give you two different batches, so you can build a longer list that way.
Can I add my own quotes?
Not from the page — the collection is compiled into the site's data file. The output box is copyable, so you can keep your own list alongside it.
