Pleasures of no longer being very young, there are three advantages through the middle age towards the later life which are very seldom.
All the old men are equipped with beautiful snowy beards and they rejoice in unfathomable wisdom like Nestor.
All this has caused the young people to be skeptical about the real advantages of the old people, and the true statements of those advantages sounds like a paradox.
Old men grow wise, for men never grow wise and old men retain a very attractive childlessness and cheerful innocence.
Elderly people are often much more romantic then the younger people and sometimes even more adventurous having began to realize how much things they do not know.
One pleasure attached to growing older is that many things seems to be growing younger, growing fresher and growing more lively than we once purposed them to be.
A young man grows up in a world, that often seems to him intolerably old. He grows up among proverbs and precepts that appear to be quite stiff and senseless.
He seems to be stuffed with stale things, to be given the stones of death instead of bread of life, to be fed on dust of the dead past, to live in a town of tombs. It is a very natural mistake yes but it is a mistake.
