Famous quotes containing the word years:

    America is a great country. It has many shortcomings, many social inequalities, and it’s tragic that the problem of the blacks wasn’t solved fifty or even a hundred years ago, but it’s still a great country, a country full of opportunities, of freedom! Does it seem nothing to you to be able to say what you like, even against the government, the Establishment?
    Golda Meir (1898–1978)

    Seventy years have I lived
    No ragged beggar man,
    Seventy years have I lived,
    Seventy years man and boy,
    And never have I danced for joy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
