Build a quote-of-the-day bot

Here’s a simple “Quote of the Day” bot written in Python. This bot selects a random quote from a predefined list and displays it. You can expand it later to fetch quotes from an API or database.

python
CopyEdit
import random
import datetime

class QuoteOfTheDayBot:
    def __init__(self):
        self.quotes = [
            "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today. – Franklin D. Roosevelt",
            "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. – Albert Einstein",
            "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. – Winston Churchill",
            "Believe you can and you're halfway there. – Theodore Roosevelt",
            "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. – William Butler Yeats",
            "Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. – George Addair",
            "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. – Ralph Waldo Emerson"
        ]
        self.current_date = None
        self.todays_quote = None

    def get_quote_of_the_day(self):
        today = datetime.date.today()
        if self.current_date != today:
            self.todays_quote = random.choice(self.quotes)
            self.current_date = today
        return self.todays_quote

# Example usage
bot = QuoteOfTheDayBot()
print("Quote of the Day:", bot.get_quote_of_the_day())

Features:

• Displays one unique quote per day.

• Caches the quote for the day to avoid repeating different quotes on the same day.

• Easily extensible for future features like API integration, database storage, or sending quotes via email or messaging apps.

Let me know if you want a web version, Discord bot, or integration with APIs like zenquotes.io.
