Forty, as a matter Of fact, is the
age to begin, not the age at which
to end. At 40 a man begins to realize
that life is real, that knowledge is
the only thing worth while. The man
Of 40 should begin his real life, his
real study, his real thinking and his
real work. If he has done anything
before that and got a good start, so
much the better. But let no man
think himself mature at 40 or past
the age of work and achievement.
