Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?

Viggo Mortensen

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.

Sojourner Truth

I've been married to the same woman for forty years, and whenever people ask us how we managed to stay married for so long, we usually say as one voice, 'What's the secret? Don't get divorced!'

Wavy Gravy

I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.

Bob Newhart

My parents have been married forty-two years. I wonder how many of those were happy.

Michael Palin

I've been on the tour for 23 years and anybody who knows me knows that I am a jokester.

Fuzzy Zoeller

The best years of a man's life are after he is forty. A man at forty has ceased to hunt the moon.

George du Maurier

For forty years I have been married to one of the greatest women the world has ever produced. All I could produce - small as it may be - was love and loyalty.

Denis Thatcher

With all their damned talk of modern painting, I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colours is black!

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Harry and I have been sweethearts and married more than forty years - and no matter where I was, when I put out my hand Harry's was there to grasp it.

Bess Truman

And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolations that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something. Yes, sir, an intelligent nineteenth-century man must be, is morally bound to be, an essentially characterless creature; and a man of character, a man of action - an essentially limited creature. This is my conviction at the age of forty. I am forty now, and forty years - why, it is all of a lifetime, it is the deepest of old age. Living past forty is indecent, vulgar, immoral!

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.

Dwight L. Moody

There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

My wife Mary and I have been married for forty-seven years and not once have we had an argument serious enough to consider divorce; murder, yes, but divorce, never.

Jack Benny

My older son who is, I think, here tonight, is forty-one years old. Which is odd because so am I.

Robert B. Parker

People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do -after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.

William Faulkner
