Original passage from Aristotle's "Rhetoric" (199 words):"It i
evident that those in the prime of life will be between the young and th
old in character, subtracting the excess of either, and neither exceedingly
confident (rashness is such) nor too fearful but having the right amoun
of both, neither trusting nor distrusting everybody but rather making
realistic judgments and not directing their lives only to what is fine or
what is advantageous but to both and neither to frugality nor to
extravagance but to what is fitting. Similarly, in regard to impulse and
desire. And they combine prudence with courage and courage with
prudence, while among the young and the old these things are separated;
for the young are brave and lack self-restraint, the older prudent and
cowardly. To speak in general terms, whatever advantages youth and old
age have separately, [those in their prime] combine, and whatever the
former have to excess or in deficiency, the latter have in due measure and
in a fitting way. The body is in its prime from the age of thirty to thirty-
five, the mind about age forty-nine. Let this much be said about the kinds
of character of youth and old age and the prime of life."precis
