Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    I was born a mechanic, and made a barrel before I was ten years old. The cooper told my father, “Fanny made that barrel, and has done it quicker and better than any boy I have had after six months’ training.” My father looked at it and said, “What a pity that you were not born a boy so that you could be good for something. Run into the house, child, and go to knitting.”
    Frances D. Gage (1808–1884)
