The first Tiny Buddha quote appeared on Twitter almost three years ago. Since then, the archives have grown to include more than 400 wisdom quotes, with new quotes added every week day.

You can now embed a daily wisdom right on your site with the Tiny Buddha Quote Widget for WordPress.

This plugin will display the quote of the day from Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the plugin will deliver a random quote from the Tiny Buddha archives.

12/21/11 UPDATE: The quote widget has been changed so that it now delivers a random quote from the Tiny Buddha archives each day.
