Forty Years On (play)

Famous quotes containing the words forty and/or years:

“People who behave at forty as they did at twenty must sometimes wonder why their charm is not working.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“[F]rom Saratoga [N.Y.] till we got back to Northampton [Mass.], was then mostly desert. Now it is what 34. years of free and good government have made it. It shews how soon the labor of man would make a paradise of the whole earth, were it not for misgovernment, and a diversion of all his energies from their proper object, the happiness of man, to the selfish interests of kings, nobles and priests.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
