When I went looking for an easy way to put random quotes into my web pages,
here is the web page I found (Now at
Archive.org). I liked Server-Side Includes and perl,
which is why I chose this script.
Highland Media
is still no longer around, but they no longer support the script or make it available for download.
(With permission) I am making the script available here.
Here is the distribution Download in zip format: quote.zip
And here is the Additional Quote File with Dhamapada quotes (teachings of the Buddha):
dhamapd.zip
There are also some more small quote files in text format still available from the
page at Archive.org. That page also explains the script operation.
Here is a quote test page that shows several quotes at once.
Disclaimer: I do not provide any formal support for the script. I may be able to give some informal help
as time permits.
By downloading you agree to hold me, Highland Media, the author or any agent of Highland Media harmless
of any damages directly or indirectly caused by the use of this or any free script.
| Quote of the moment |
| The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else. |
