∙ 10y agoThis is commonly mis-attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but there's no evidence that he ever said it.

In conclusion, QI would tentatively credit Edward J. Stieglitz with the saying. However, it is possible that the statement was crafted by an advertising copywriter instead of Stieglitz himself. It is also possible that earlier instances exist that QI has not yet located.
Adlai Stevenson did use the saying on more than one occasion while giving speeches. The attachment to Lincoln is currently unsupported. The wording in the advertisement for the book by Stieglitz does differ somewhat from the version used by Stevenson, but the semantics and word-order reversal match.

∙ 10y agoYou have to know your birthday, or at least what year you were born in, then count the number of years since then.
The life expectancy for German men is 78 years. The life expectancy of a woman born in Germany is 83 years.
If one excludes infant mortality (i.e. if you don't count children who died before their 1st birthday when computing the average), life expectancy would be about 40, with those in the upper classes gaining perhaps as much as 10 years more. If one include infant mortality in the calculation, reduce the above numbers by almost 10 years.
Life expectancy at birth: : total population: 81.25 years : male: 77.96 years : female: 84.7 years

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) Politician. President of the United States. he also said many other famous quotes.
This is another way of saying that it really does not matter so much how many years one might live to be, if they have not really 'lived;' a reflection of the fact that few people ever do.
In Hebrew, you use numbers to count the years, just as in English.
