"When the age is in, the wit..." - Quote by William Shakespeare
When the age is in, the wit is out
More by William Shakespeare
“Tell them, that, to ease them of their griefs, Their fear of hostile strokes, their aches, losses, Their pangs of love, with other incident throes That nature's fragile vessel doth sustain In life's uncertain voyage, I will some kindness do them.”
“To take arms against a sea of troubles.”
“Things past redress are now with me past care”
More on Age
“Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.”
“The old lose one of the greatest privileges of man, for they are no longer judged by their contemporaries.”
“They've got this crazy actor who's 82 years old up there in a suit. I was a mayor, and they're probably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks.”
More on Wisdom
“Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.”
“In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society. We derive no comfort because important people, vocal people, or great numbers of people agree with us. Nor do we derive comfort if they don't.”
“Never read any book that is not a year old.”
