+A "fortune" in this case a saying from the Church Fathers will be generated at the command line. You can pipe this into other programs such as cowsay or xcowsa
+y.  I added to my .zshrc file so every time I start a new terminal I get a saying of a church father.  I also created an alias for clear so every time I clear 
+my terminal I get a saying from a church father.  You can create a simple script that pipes fortune  into xcowsay or notify-file to get a popup in your xwindow
+ session based on either an action or based on a time frame.  There is a php version of fortune that allows you to add random sayings to your website.
+ 
+ If you want to add more quotes just edit the churchfathers file.  Between each quote there should be a single line with a single %
+ Once you are done editing rerun strfile churchfathers to add the additional quotes to the dat file.
