Famous quotes

  • « Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people. »
    Annie Lennox
  • « Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world. »
