Welcome to Motd

Message of the day, also known as "fortunes" or "fortune cookies", derived from various FreeBSD and Linux sources.

Have a phrase/quote/joke in mind but only remember something somewhat vaguely? The search box (left) may yield some pleasant surprises.

A staple for Unix/Linux users for decades, but largely unknown to the public, it's hard to describe this incredible collection. Not only
amusing, arch, facetious, pithy, humorous, ironic, jocose, keen, satirical, sharp, smart, taunting, witty, biting ...
the collection is also a fascinating view of the cultural history of the computer, priesthood and users, through the Unix looking glass.

Enjoy! and don't forget to vote for your favorite "Best" and "Worst" of Fortunes.

Advisory: Occasional strong language. Discretion advised specially for the Limericks.




Today's Fortunes

Oct 8, 2024

He who is known as an early riser need not get up until noon.
He who is known as an early riser need not get up until noon.

He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know...
He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. -- Lao Tsu

He who knows not and knows that he knows not is ignorant...
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is ignorant. Teach him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool. Shun him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep. Wake him.

He who knows nothing, knows nothing. But he who knows he knows...
He who knows nothing, knows nothing. But he who knows he knows nothing knows something. And he who knows someone whose friend's wife's brother knows nothing, he knows something. Or something like that.

He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself...
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened. -- Lao Tsu
