Is it possible that i can have some particular adages or wisy words added to my fortune program.
Yes, you'll have to create a new text file and place it into the /usr/share/games/fortune (or whatever on your sys) directory. The file should contain your adages, separated by a newline-%-newline. Then you have to 'compile' the file to create a .dat file that contains pointers to the adages. Finally, just pass the name of the file to fortune. If you use the 'all' option, fortune takes the file on its own.
Look at the fortune manpage and the web site on how to compile the text file into a .dat. They have a tool on the web. You can also write your own in 5 mins.
