Does anyone know how to take a line of text from an email and set it on the desktop on top of the background? It's a beautiful saying and I'd like to see it every day when I start up the computer.

Would you like an image displayed behind the text? If so, open the image with Paint and click on the 'A' button on the sidebar. Creat a box, then copy the text you would like to display and paste on the box. Save the image and choose it as your desktop background. I'm not sure if it works perfectly but I believe it does. If you want only the text, you could try to repeat the above method, but putting the text on a blank image.

I'm sorry but I'm computer illiterate. What do you mean by image? I already have a background chosen from the computer list.
Edit: I want the text displayed over the top on the background.

You can save a background in Paint, then click the "A" icon. Make a box where you want the text to appear. Copy and paste the text, save, then "save as background".

IdiditIdiditIdidit! WooHoo. Thanks to pinkgoo and SG. Ya'll are the best. Now... The box background is white behind the text. Is there a way to put color in the background of the box only? I used paint to make this so I can go back in and change it if need be.
