What's inside
A quote a day app that teaches the history too
Most quote apps give you a line of text and a name. Patriot Daily Quotes is built around the moment the words were spoken or written, so each quote comes with the history that makes it matter.
A new quote every morning
Set a daily reminder and keep a reading streak. Follow the topics you care about, such as liberty, faith, duty, courage and the founding.
Where the words began
Guided stories show a map of the place, historical paintings or photographs, and the original document or first printed page. A few quotes include recordings of the actual speaker.
162 voices from history
Browse Topics and Figures, from Abigail Adams to Adam Smith, and search any speaker by first or last name.
Save, share and remember
Save your favorite quotes, share a quote image to Facebook or Instagram with its source, and add a quote to your calendar at your reminder time.

Our sources
Verified quotes from original sources
Famous quotes are often misquoted or invented. Every quote in Patriot Daily Quotes is checked against its original text: letters, speeches, books, sermons and public records. Many come from the National Archives' Founders Online collection, the Library of Congress and other library and museum archives.
The app shows the source for every quote, with a link so you can read the original yourself. Historical images come with their caption, credit and collection, and the speaker recordings are original historical recordings, never imitations.
Read how we verify quotes, and see the famous founder quotes we left out because the founders never said them.
