Quote

Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.

The old Devil gets mad when you're trying to do good. Pray that God will move the stumbling blocks.

Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come.

Satan is wiser now than before, and tempts by making rich instead of poor.

Satan knows that youth is the springtime of life when all things are new and young people are most vulnerable.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

The wise learn many things from their enemies.

When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.

Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
