Cowsay

Cowsay generates an ASCII picture of a cow saying  something  provided by  the  user.   If  run with no arguments, it accepts standard input, word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints  the  cow saying the given message on standard output.

Best way to use cow is to redirect its output to wall. And I am not talking about cowshit. 

fortune

Man page for the fortune says

fortune - print a random, hopefully interesting, adage


Interesting! Isn't it?
