Hey Aaron Yow , I've modified my answer since I've noticed something.

After coming back and re-evaluating your question, I went back to the challenge and tried it again.

As mentioned by Jay, the quoteLabel has a misspelling, but what I think what you were really missing ( since Im sure you tried several times ) it's the . at the end of the sentence. 

class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
       quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine." // Use the dot at the end of sentence. 
    }

}

I apologize for the wrong information before. This should allow you to continue with your challenges. Please let me know if it works.

i gave it another try but this comes up
Bummer! You need to set the text attribute on quoteLabel to "A stitch in time saves nine."

Hi

Did you try it like this ? 

class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
       quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine." // Use the dot at the end of sentence. 
    }

}

I guess I can't see all of the code so I am not sure I know what your issue is. From what I see, it looks like you might be calling the variable by the wrong name, "quoteLabel" is missing an "e" when used to assign it a string. Disregard if that is not your issue and best of luck!
