Old People
The notion that Old People are wise is a myth concocted by Old People in a partially successful attempt to justify their continued existence. If Old People possess any quality in greater abundance than others, it is patience. Even so, the patience of the old springs not from virtue; Old People simply don't move as fast as they used to.
