fortune is yet another implementation of the Unix-style fortune program that displays a random message from a database of quotations. Conceptually, it's similar to the BSD fortune program originally written by Ken Arnold. Unlike Arnold's program, this version is written in Python and should run anywhere there's a Python interpreter.
