When Young People Learn Wisdom

Thus talks an old farmer about his boys. "From 16 to 18 they knew more than I did; at 25 they knew as much; at 30 they were willing to hear what I had to say; at 35 they asked my advice; and I think when they get to be 40 they will actually acknowledge that the old man does know something." With this agrees the old adage, "Young folks think old ones are fools, but old folks know young ones to be so."
