Random quote generator
Press Surprise me for a classic quote with its source, from Stoics and poets to scripture, already set in a design you can export as a video or an image.
Press Surprise me above and you get a random quote from the built-in library, already laid out in a template and moving. Press it again for another. Every quote is public domain, from writers who died long ago or from public-domain texts, and the Quote library shows each one’s source, such as “Walden, 1854” or “Meditations, Book IV (George Long translation)”.
This is a generator of real quotes, not invented ones: nothing is written by AI and nothing is misattributed. Lines often credited to the wrong person, like “Be the change you wish to see” or Einstein sayings that Einstein never said, are deliberately left out. When you find one you like, change the design, then export a quote video or a quote image.

Where the quotes come from
The library holds over a hundred quotes, each checked word for word against a public-domain edition: Project Gutenberg and Wikisource texts, or the original speech. Translations are old enough to be public domain too: Marcus Aurelius in George Long’s 1862 version, the Tao Te Ching in James Legge’s 1891 version, Tolstoy in Constance Garnett’s and the Maudes’.
Bible verses come from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. The King James Version is not used, because it remains under Crown copyright in the United Kingdom.
Quote of the day, without the scroll
If you post a daily quote, press Surprise me each morning, keep a template you like, and export. Your designs save in this browser under Recent designs, so yesterday’s look is one tap away.
Using your own quotes
The library is a starting point. Type anything into Your quote: your own words, a line from a book you own, or a client testimonial. Song lyrics and modern authors’ words are usually under copyright, so check you have the right to post them.
Quote generator questions
Can I use these quotes commercially?
The texts are public domain, so the words themselves are free to use. Check any rules of the platform you post to, and keep the attribution accurate.
Why don’t I see famous modern quotes?
Quotes by recent authors are usually still in copyright, and many famous internet quotes are misattributed. The library only holds lines we could verify in a public-domain source.
Which Bible translation is used?
The World English Bible, a modern public-domain translation.
Can I get a random quote in a particular theme?
Open Quote library, pick a theme such as courage or nature, and choose from that list.
