If Age be Blended with Naughtiness, the Older the Worse
Titus 2:2
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.


An old river without water quencheth not our thirst. An old friend that hath lost his honesty is worse than an old picture that hath lost its colour. Old wine no man commends; when it is turned to vinegar, let them take it that like it. An old house is no safe harbour when it is ready to fall on the inhabiter's head. An old man that hath lost his experience is like a boulter; much good flour hath gone through it, but there is nothing left in it but bran.

(T. Adams.)
