The days of our years are three score years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

We live for seventy years or so
(with luck we might make it to eighty),
And what do we have to show for it? Trouble.

had this inscription on it: 'To an Unknown God.'
This God, whom you worship without knowing,
is the one I'm telling you about!”
