You need to set the `text` attribute on `quoteLabel` to "A stitch in time saves nine."

Not sure why this isnt working - code looks right to me... also checked other threads and people are coming back with the same answer

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
     quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine"
    }

}

You should set the text to be "A stitch in time saves nine. " You missed the period mark.

You're just missing the period at the end of the sentence. Try this:

quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."
