I'm now the elder in the position of doling out wisdom and trying to mend fences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm moving into that eldership age, you know? I'm at the 'wise woman' age where it's not about learning, but utilizing the information that I have in a way that serves other people. That's a high calling and it's a great responsibility.
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
My dad was a man of great wisdom in his short time here.
At sixty, I know little more about wisdom than I did at thirty, but I know a great deal more about folly.
It took me a long time to learn how to be brave enough to put myself out there and try everything, no matter how strange or silly. If I can impart that same wisdom to other folks - no matter what age - it would be an honor.
I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.
Much of the wisdom of one age, is the folly of the next.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
We respect our elders. There is wisdom that comes from experience, and I am not going to stop learning from wise counsel.
I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom; I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients.
