Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Old men are cantankerous: they like to get their own way.
Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.
Some men tend to cling to old intellectual excitements, just as some belles, when they are old ladies, still cling to the fashions and coiffures of their exciting youth.
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
Young men are crazy strange emotional beings.
As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like 'older and wiser' and 'respect your elders,' promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.
Young men preen. Old men scheme.
