Introduction

In 2015 I started sending quotes every day again, but during my trip in 2016 I mostly decided sending a quote daily was just too much. I hope you understand. I will do my best to send quotes every day again in 2017. Find below the ones I have sent. And strange to realize I have been sending quotes regularly, mostly daily, for years now. And that I have been using my plugin for that since 2013. Building that plugin seemed like endless, but right now it has been operational for almost four years already, and yes, it automatically stores the quotes so below overview is generated automatically.
