GitHub Action
Quote Of The Day Action
v1
Latest version
💬 Quote of the Day: "There are some who complain most energetically and inconsolably of any, because they are, as they say, doing their duty. I also have in my mind that seemingly wealthy, but most terribly impoverished class of all, who have accumulated dross, but know not how to use it, or get rid of it, and thus have forged their own golden or silver fetters."
Note: Free-tier API limit exceeded. This repo only serves as demo. GitHub Action will no longer be running every 24 hours.
