Forty Quotes

There are so few people given us to love. I want to tell my daughters this, that each time you fall in love it is important, even at nineteen. Especially at nineteen. And if you can, at nineteen, count the people you love on one hand, you will not, at forty, have run out of fingers on the other. There are so few people given us to love and they all stick Picture Quote #1

If you steal from one book you are condemned as a plagiarist, but if you steal from ten books you are considered a scholar, and if you steal from thirty or forty books, a distinguished scholar Picture Quote #1

Maybe love was a myth anyhow, a brew of hormones and fantasy, evolution’s way of getting men and women together long enough for them to procreate,back in the day when girls got pregnant at twelve, were pregnant or nursing for the next twenty years, and were dead of the plague by forty Picture Quote #1

Forty thousand years of evolution and we’ve barely even tapped the vastness of human potential Picture Quote #1

Don’t be a salary slave! If you are going to do anything in this world, you must start before you are forty, before your period of initiative has ended. Do it now! Picture Quote #1

Putting allows the touchy golfer two to four opportunities to blow a gasket in the short space of two to forty feet Picture Quote #1

My garden is a slow work, pursued with love and I do not deny that I am proud of it. Forty years ago, when I established myself here, there was nothing but a farmhouse and a poor orchard... I bought the house and little by little I enlarged and organized it... I dug, planted weeded, myself; in the evenings the children watered Picture Quote #1

If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you’d better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can’t sprint for forty years Picture Quote #1

I came across a photograph of him not long ago... his black face, the long snout sniffing at something in the air, his tail straight and pointing, his eyes flashing in some momentary excitement. Looking at a faded photograph taken more than forty years before, even as a grown man, I would admit I still missed him Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons I am happy now is that I did the work I had always dreamed of doing. But I didn’t start doing it seriously and professionally until I was forty years old Picture Quote #1

I am above eighty years old; it is about time for me to be going. I have been forty years a slave and forty years free and would be here forty years more to have equal rights for all Picture Quote #1

Domestic violence does not only happen to adults. Forty percent of girls age 14 to 17 report knowing someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend, and approximately one in five female high school students reports being physically and sexually abused by a dating partner Picture Quote #1

Make one person happy each day and in forty years you will have made 14,600 human beings happy for a little time at least Picture Quote #1

When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experiences of nearly forty years at sea, I merely say uneventful. I have never been in an accident of any sort worth speaking about... I never saw a wreck and have never been wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort Picture Quote #1

Beware of using up your last forty years in being the curator of your first fifty Picture Quote #1

The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living Picture Quote #1

The heavens were the grandstands and only the gods were spectators. The stake was the world, the forfeit was the player’s place at the table, and the game had no recess. It was the most dangerous of all sports and the most fascinating. It got in the blood like wine. It aged men forty years in forty days. It ruined nervous systems in an hour Picture Quote #1

Of course, personally, I think it’d be tacky to wear diamonds before I’m forty Picture Quote #1

The man who is not a socialist at twenty has no heart, but if he is still a socialist at forty he has no head Picture Quote #1

The recollections of an older man are different from those of a younger man. What seemed vital at forty may lose its significance at seventy. We manufacture stories, after all, from the fleeting sensory material that bombards us at every instant, a fragmented series of pictures, conversations, odors, and the touch of things and people. We delete most of it to live with some semblance of order, and the reshuffling of memory goes on until we die Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t resist the temptation to put in a null reference, simply because it was so easy to implement. This has led to innumerable errors, vulnerabilities, and system crashes, which have probably caused a billion dollars of pain and damage in the last forty years Picture Quote #1

Forty years as an astronomer have not quelled my enthusiasm for lying outside after dark, staring up at the stars. It isn’t only the beauty of the night sky that thrills me. It’s the sense I have that some of those points of light are the home stars of beings not so different from us, daily cares and all, who look across space with wonder, just as we do Picture Quote #1

I did a lot of good work for the rest of the forty years... science is an incremental thing. Everything builds on everything else, it’s a pattern, it’s a mosaic Picture Quote #1

In two novels written forty years apart, a man and a woman tell stories of their love... Taken together they provide an unusually touching story of young love unable to prevail against an opposition whose strength was tragically buttressed by the uncertainties of a cultural divide Picture Quote #1

It takes approximately forty years for innovative thought to be incorporated into mainstream thought. I expect and hope that orthomolecular medicine, within the next five to ten years, will cease to be a specialty in medicine and that all physicians will be using nurition as an essential tool in treating disease Picture Quote #1

There is a prophetic release that occurs in a church or an individual who fasts continually for forty days Picture Quote #1

Since I was forty and definitely slipping, I have won seven full marathons, got second six times, and third four times... I’m wondering what I can do after I’m fifty Picture Quote #1

Paris is not a city I should care to approach for the first time after I had passed forty Picture Quote #1

Live with a man forty years. Share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over the volcano’s edge, and on that day, you will finally meet the man Picture Quote #1

Would you rather work forty hours a week at a job you hate or eighty hours a week doing work you love? Picture Quote #1
