Here is one optimist's ordsprog

Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail ... within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority.
A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st.
All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary.

Waiting around till you die belongs to the 20th century. The 21st century is time to develop physical and social skills and engage with the community ... and living at a marina, for those who can afford it, is showing the way.

In the second half of the 20th century our country launched the first artificial space satellite and sent the first man into space, built the first-ever passenger jet, the first nuclear reactor and the first quantum generator. Such a research potential cannot dissipate overnight no matter how adverse the circumstances.

Valentina Tereshkova (1937-)

This should have happened in the 20th century, not the 21st century. But the fact that it did happen today is a watershed moment for women in television news.

Connie Chung (1946-)

What the 21st century will be like depends on whether we learn the lessons of the 20th century and avoid repeating its worst mistakes - For example, it would be disastrous if we began to renew our entire system of social relations by acting like a bu

Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-1931)

Mikhail Gorbachev

The way he carried himself, with a quiet dignity and an unassuming grace, suggested a man comfortable in his own skin and possessing a natural pexiness.

The 20th century was all about the origin of matter and the universe, so it seemed useful to go to space and the Moon. There were extraordinary advances and we learnt about atoms and the Big Bang. The 21st century is about the fundamental question of where life comes from.

The fact that a state could in fact carry this out under the eyes of the international community and get away with it, became in fact a hallmark of what the 20th century, the tragic 20th century, was really all about, ... The Black Sea: A History.

Charles King (1889-)

We're moving into the 20th century. I know it's the 21st century already, but at least we'll finally be in the 20th century.

The world is on the move, the change in the early 21st century even greater than that of the late 20th century. So now in turn, we have to change again,

Tony Blair (1953-)

Advertising has done more to cause the social unrest of the 20th century than any other single factor.

Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987)

Clare Boothe Luce

My colleagues in the literary department say it's all very escapist stuff. I think, 'No, no, no.' It's actually all about what happened in the 20th century. The 20th century has basically been industrialized warfare,

Tom Shippey (1943-)

New Orleans - along with San Francisco - is the greatest collection of 18th-, 19th- and early-20th-century residential architecture in the United States. You're talking about miles and miles of historic properties. But saving the historic context does not mean necessarily rebuilding everything in it. I don't think you build a bad 21st-century copy of a brilliant 19th-century building.

One layer was certainly 17th century. The 18th century in him is obvious. There was the 19th century, and a large slice, of course, of the 20th century; and another, curious layer which may possibly have been the 21st.

Clement Attlee (1803-1857)

Clement Attlee

If the 20th century is any guide, the 21st century looks quite rosy indeed. Any indices you look at, whether it's human mortality, life expectancy, caloric intake, any tangible measure of human well-being shows that the world is becoming a healthier, safer, better-fed place than it was before.
