Kevin and anyone else who doesn't know,

you can create your own quotes file that fortune will parse.
In a plain text editor, write your quotes, separating each one with
a percent sign on its own line. For example:

%
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
%
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
%
He who laughs last laughs loudest 
%

Assuming you save this file as "myquotes," 
just point fortune to it:

$> fortune /path/to/myquotes    
He who laughs last laughs loudest
