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.

| What worries me, especially, is that public opinion over here is patting itself on the back every morning and thanking God for the Atlantic Ocean (and the Pacific Ocean). We greatly underestimate the serious implications to our own future.... Things move with such terrific speed these days, that it is really essential to us to think in broader terms and, in effect, to warn the American people that they, too, should think of possible ultimate results in Europe and the Far East. |
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. letter, Dec. 14, 1939, to William Allen White. The Roosevelt Letters, vol. 3, p. 293, ed. Elliott Roosevelt, George G. Harrup & Co., Ltd. (1952).
FDR wished White to take the lead in warning the public that the war in Europe and Asia was indeed some of their business, as the result would effect Americans in both their security and economic well-being. White was one of the founders of the organization promoting aid to the Allies as a means of defending America without actively entering the war.
