Seventy

Famous quotes containing the word seventy:

“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

“For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull.”
—Ralph Nader (b. 1934)

“To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
