Francis Bacon on The Problem With Old men

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon.

-Francis Bacon

A quick comment:

Yes, how true this is. When I was 20, I had a will that wouldn’t quit. In my 30′s some of that faded a bit and the wit did begin to take over…whether by being witty or by using wit to get things dine rather than necessarily by sheer will.
