Every time I press iPhone’s home button to know the time. I get a very nice quote on the screen. This is one of the best uses of locked iPhone screen.
You need to have a jail broken iPhone having firmware 2.X.
I assume that you have installed WinterBoard already in your iPhone. To install “Famous Quotes Widget”, open your Cydia installer and search for “Famous Quotes Widget”.
You’ll get widget in search result. Now follow the instruction to install this widget.
After successful installation, open WinterBoard application and enable the widget and you are done.

This widget for WinterBoard contains hundreds of quotes and each time you lock your iPhone/iPhone touch a new one is displayed. Works on tops of other Lock screen themes.

For those who don’t know about SummerBoard. Here is a brief history of it. It’s an application which runs on iPhone and can change icons, background, title bar and dock etc.
SummerBoard was developed by Nullriver. Company sold SummerBoard license to a new company RIP dev. RIP dev is now selling SummerBoard for ~45$ for lifetime subscription and this application is now called Kate.
