There are only two days on my calendar... today and the day of judgment
I have so much to do today that I must set apart more time than usual to pray.
I have so many things to do today, I dare not ignore my time with God.
I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one.
I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: -- we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
I must face the fact, as all others in positions of leadership must do, that America today is an extremely sick nation, and that something could well happen to me at any time. I feel, though, that my cause is so right, so moral, that if I should lose my life, in some way it would aid the cause.
Today we know with certainty that segregation is dead. The only question remaining is how costly will be the funeral.
What seems so necessary today may not even be desirable tomorrow.
Is your heart right? If your heart isn't right, fix it up today.
We still have a choice today: nonviolence coesistence or violent coannihilation.
If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
I have a dream today!
It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
