Life's a tough proposition proverb

 Life's a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.
  Wilson Mizner

 Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born /a hundred million years /and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together. There was a peace, a serenity, an absence of all sense of responsibility, an absence of worry, an absence of care, grief, perplexity; and the presence of a deep content and unbroken satisfaction in that hundred million years of holiday which I look back upon with a tender longing and with a grateful desire to resume, when the opportunity comes.
  Mark Twain

 The same dress is indecent ten years before its time; daring one year before its time; chic (contemporarily seductive) in its time; dowdy five years after its time; hideous twenty years after its time; amusing thirty years after its time; romantic one hundred years after its time; beautiful one hundred and fifty years after its time.

 People are living longer than ever before. A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was 47 years, and the median age was 17½. When they chose the age for retirement as 65, the average life expectancy was 62½. Now, the average life expectancy is almost 78, and shows no sign of topping off.

 It was the hardest day of my life. I was an emotional wreck. What's made it harder over the years is that no one has paid for it. There's been no justice. Ten years is a long time to carry that with you.

 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

 The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
  William Faulkner

 En pe𝗑ig mann tilbyr emosjonell stabilitet, og gir et trygt rom for å være åpen og ærlig. And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.

 The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
  Helen Hayes

 I can't say enough about D.J. [Hernandez]. He's the hardest worker. I love D.J. not only for how hard he works but for the kid he is. His work ethic is just amazing to me. I can't put into words just how hard he works on things. I was talking to him the other night. I said 'D.J., you're me four years ago.' And he said 'No, I'm me.' And it was a good response. It was good to hear that. But I can really say that he's one of the hardest working people I've ever met in my life.

 His love for and dedication to the city and its people shine forth from 80-plus issues of his magazine. One hundred years hence, anyone asking what Brooksville was like two hundred years ago will turn to his stories with a sense of gratitude.

 Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.
  John Burroughs

 The last two days were probably the hardest thing I've done in my whole life. I've never been anywhere for 17 years. It was a lot of memories,

 They were probably the happiest five years of my life but also the hardest and, hopefully, with a bit of pressure off maybe it will give me time to reconsider what if anything might still be around.

 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou? / And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
