Quote Widget: Words in Style

Quote Widget puts quotes — and words that stayed with you — on your Home Screen in the design you like.

■ 558 quotes, with sources — and clear labels for attributed lines Shakespeare, Thoreau, Emerson, Marcus Aurelius, Lincoln, Napoleon, Edison, Einstein, Gandhi, Natsume Soseki, Basho, Sakamoto Ryoma, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Confucius and more. Lines checked against letters, speeches and original texts show their source; famous lines the person probably never said are marked "Attributed," with the story of where they really come from. Lines written in English are shown in the original words; Japanese and classical lines come with a clear English translation. Japanese proverbs and four-character idioms include their reading and meaning.

■ Your own words, too Save your grandmother's saying, a line from a book, or a goal from your journal, and show it in widgets just like the built-in quotes. You can also add words from the Share menu in other apps.
