~By Gabriela Mistral ~
Pervading nationalism imposes its dominion on man today in many different forms and with an aggressiveness that spares no one. The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery.
~By Pope John Paul II ~
Even in my really bad, drugged-out days, I didn't go away. I still toured, still did interviews. I never gave up the fight. That's why I'm who I am today, because I didn't leave. And I think I made the right choice.
~By Stevie Nicks ~
Parents today are under a lot of stress, sometimes working two jobs just to make ends meet. They're trying to find day care for their kids and elder care for their own parents. The Federal Government shouldn't add to their worries by not living up to its obligations.
~By Barbara Mikulski ~
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
~By Pope Paul VI ~
That I can't relate to today's music or morals doesn't make either necessarily bad. Just different. I leave the judgements to others.

~By Jenny Shipley ~

~By Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani ~
The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on large measure upon how our children grow up today.
~By Margaret Mead ~
I made a written report which is still today in existence. I have a photocopy of it, and I am saying that in production this aircraft could perhaps substitute for three propeller- driven aircraft of the best existing type. This was my impression.
~By Adolf Galland ~
What I did in my youth is hundreds of times easier today. Technology breeds crime.
~By Frank Abagnale ~

~By Cynthia Weil ~
No, I think the pitching today has more depth.
~By Ernie Banks ~
Today, music is visual.
~By Archie Shepp ~

~By Timothy Leary ~
Today, they're just up there for the money, just packaged and be gone.
~By Ronnie Spector ~
Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country.

~By Steven Pinker ~
I have worked closely with many of our county commissioners, mayors, local transportation officials, and others to determine project needs in the 18th District, and they deserve a great deal of thanks for today's victory on the House floor.
~By Bob Ney ~
But my point is these Civil War songs were gruesome. The hatred that's so bad in this country today, and for the past 10 or 15 years, bad as it is, is nothing compared to the kind of things people would write down and sing back in the Civil War.
~By T-Bone Burnett ~
I think I'm much less self confident today. I actually went through a quite painful period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me.
~By Hugo Weaving ~
Today, credit rating agencies rate companies, countries and bonds.
~By Mike Fitzpatrick ~

~By Jennifer Aniston ~
The money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.
~By Peter Shilton ~
The president's budget request today demonstrates his unwillingness to come clean on the true costs of his agenda. A penny saved is not a penny earned if at the end of the day you still owe a quarter.
~By Mary Landrieu ~
All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.
~By Ralph Bakshi ~
So the Negro race has continued, and today is the day of the Negro as far as the world is concerned. They have influenced the generations of time; they have mixed their blood with many peoples, until there are many peoples not able to hold the priesthood.
~By Warren Jeffs ~
Against the State, against the Church, against the silence of the medical profession, against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past, the woman of today arises.
~By Margaret Sanger ~
But if we can manage it so people don't have things forced on them that they don't want, I think there's every reason to believe things can settle out in a situation that is recognizably better than the one we're stuck in today.
~By K. Eric Drexler ~
In the New York Times, you're going to get completely different information than you would in the USA Today.

~By John Podesta ~
I've been told that I have a lot of energy. The secret is that I use renewable resources. Some days I'm solar powered. Some days I'm wind powered. And some people in this room might think I'm hybrid gas-powered. You'll just have to guess which it is today.
~By Bill Richardson ~

It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work.
~By Mike Honda ~
Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.
~By Mary Whitehouse ~
I believe all life has value, from conception to natural death. And I believe the intentional taking of human life, except to save lives, should be a capital offense, as it is in most states in America today.
~By Tom Coburn ~
Actually, today I had to defend the Bush Administration in France again. They refuse to accept, because of their political ideology, that he has actually done more than any American President for Africa. But it's empirically so.
~By Bob Geldof ~
The value of tolerance is central to living in today's world - especially in diverse places like the Bronx.

~By Michael Shermer ~
In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli.
~By Howard Zinn ~

~By Hans Urs von Balthasar ~
We will definitely not burn the Koran, no. Not today, not ever.
~By Terry Jones ~
Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.
~By Susan B. Anthony ~
There aren't many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can't withstand the scrutiny.
~By Tom Ford ~
Today's date, the eighteenth of May, should sometime become an occasion of great international celebration, for on this day ten years ago the first Peace Conference opened at The Hague.
~By Fredrik Bajer ~
Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.
~By Neil Young ~
Obviously, CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today, people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.
~By Avi Arad ~

~By Marshall McLuhan ~
The segregated schools of today are arguably no more equal than the segregated schools of the past.
~By Ed Markey ~

~By Josephine K. Henry ~
With the marketing pressures driving the book world today, it's much easier to get the author of a memoir on a television show than a serious novelist.
~By David Halberstam ~
Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.
~By Rickey Henderson ~
Could I say that the reason that I am here today, you know, from the mouth of the State Department itself, is: I should not be allowed to travel because I have struggled for years for the independence of the colonial peoples of Africa.
~By Paul Robeson ~

Practically all the prominent leaders of thought in China today are openly agnostics and even atheists.
~By Hu Shih ~
So along with that is spending a lot of time with the ball. For me it was, I loved to juggle the ball in my front yard, and I always challenged myself - how many juggles can I get today? I think for players to get better, it's just about spending the time.
~By Brandi Chastain ~
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
~By James Dean ~
Fortunes are made, and disappear, over the lifetime of a single generation. Today, a person in essence takes his wealth from society just for the duration of his or her lifetime. The next generation has to create it anew.
~By Mikhail Khodorkovsky ~
We seem to be a long way off from the kind of Fascism which we behold in Italy today, but we are not so far from the kind of Fascism which Mussolini preached in Italy before he assumed power, and we are slowly approaching the conditions which made Fascism there possible.
~By John T. Flynn ~
Rossi was the first to describe another system working with valves in parallel; it has the advantage that it can easily be extended to coincidences between more than two events, and is therefore predominantly used today.
~By Walther Bothe ~
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.
~By John F. Kennedy ~
War on terrorism defines the central preoccupation of the United States in the world today, and it does reflect in my view a rather narrow and extremist vision of foreign policy of the world's first superpower, of a great democracy, with genuinely idealistic traditions.
~By Zbigniew Brzezinski ~
The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.
~By Henry David Thoreau ~
