Famous quotes containing the words today and/or big:
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? and ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
