Go to console and type
$ fortune fortunes.

Basically, fortune maintains text files from which it selects a random epigram. In the above command fortune is the name of command and fortunes is the category. You can choose from a lot many categories. To see the categories available to you, type
$ fortune -f
And say you want something on love, type
$ fortune love
The output that appeared on my monitor was

$ man fortune
May Linux have good fortunes in store for you.
Was that wonderful? Please, share.
