Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age.

Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age

Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.

That's the trouble with you young people. You think because you ain't been here long, you know everything. In my life I already forgot more than you ever know.

When you're young, the question is "What can you do for me?" and when you're old the question is "What can I do for you?"

As we grow old the vigour of youth is exchanged for life experience and wisdom.
