Famous quotes containing the words seventy and/or weeks:
“To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.”

“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
