Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.

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.

Much of the wisdom of one age, is the folly of the next.

I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.

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

Even youngish men can acquire wisdom as time goes by.

Age wins and one must learn to grow old.

As one grows older, one becomes wiser and more foolish.
