Use Our Quotations

We have a feature that allows you to include our Quotes of the Day or Motivational Quotes of the Day on your own Web page. This is a free service that anyone can use, provided you don't remove the links back to our site.

NOTE: This feature uses JavaScript. It should work in Netscape (3.0 or later), Internet Explorer (3.0 or later), and most other modern browsers. It won't work for some users who are behind firewalls or who have JavaScript disabled.

To use this feature, you can simply include one of the JavaScript tags below in your page's HTML code. Do not modify the code in any way. We require that the comments (including our URL) remain intact. You will see the new Quotes of the Day on your page each day without any need to update your page. Post in our forum or contact us if you have any trouble using the code.

For advanced developers and users, we also offer XML (RSS) feeds of our daily quotations.

DISCLAIMER: If you use this code, one or more quotes from our site will appear on your site. These might include quotations that offend you or your readers in some fashion (although we maintain a PG-rated database) or quotations you disagree with. By using our quotations, you acknowledge that they are provided "as is" and your only recourse if you are dissatisfied is to discontinue using them.

To use this search form, copy this HTML to your page:

<!--Quotation Search form for http://www.quotationspage.com/-->
<form action="http://www.quotationspage.com/search.php3" method="GET">
Quotations Page Search:
<input type="text" name="Search" size="20">

Daily XML (RSS) Quotation Feeds

Our daily quotations are also available in RSS format, which means you can use a newsreader to subscribe to them. Here are a few examples of newsreaders—we recommend the ones in boldface.

If you're a programmer, you can also use our RSS feeds to include our quotes on your own site or on a local intranet.

IMPORTANT: These feeds are available to everyone, but please don't request them more often than every two hours. The quotes themselves only change every 24 hours. Do not use JavaScript or other client-side methods with these feeds, as they'll reload each time a user accesses your page. We would appreciate it if you let us know that you are using our feeds.

The author of a quotation appears in the <title> field and the quotation itself in the <description> field. The <link> field links to other quotations by the same author, if any. Each day four new quotations are added at the top of the RSS file, which also includes two previous days for a total of 12 items.

We don't really have time to provide technical support for users of these feeds, but you can contact us if you have questions about the format or how you are allowed to use it. Please see The RSS Info pages for a good set of links to information about RSS in general.
