Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    For more than five years I maintained myself thus solely by the labor of my hands, and I found that, by working about six weeks in a year, I could meet all the expenses of living. The whole of my winters, as well as most of my summers, I had free and clear for study.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
