Man and EnnIs.

A man can be as big fool at thirty
as he can be at twenty or, for that
matter. at sixty, with this difference,
that at twenty he doesn't know that
he is fool He thinks that he is a
god and enjoys the experience. At
sixty he knows well enough what he
is and thanks his stars that he has yet
another chance before going down to
the grave, But at thirty-five he has
neither the illusions of youth nor the
consultations Of age. He is young
enough to feel foolish and old enough
to know better.-"Curing Christopher"
