Inappropriate?There are quite a few ways to do this. Any way that you could make this on a stand alone website, you can make it in a widget.
The easiest way would be if you have an RSS feed and use a blidget.

Another way would be to put a bunch of javascript and HTML together to do this in an HTML/JS widget:

If the second option is more appealing, the specific Javascript and HTML is up to you. Alternatively, you could just manually update the HTML and Publish changes every day as a low-fi option.
Additionally, for the widget to not have ads, you'll need to subscribe to Widgetbox Pro.

Inappropriate?We don't have any code samples for this type of widget unfortunately, but the best place to start learning HTML is probably http://www.w3schools.com. There are many tutorials on how to write and format HTML and how to write and use JavaScript to change the content. If you want to manually change the quote, you may only need to write HTML that you edit daily, otherwise if you want a new quote to appear each day automatically, you'll need to investigate using JavaScript. For the novice, this example may be too complicated, but it shows the JavaScript one would need to build a random quote widget: http://www.codelifter.com/main/javasc...
Good Luck!
