Adults

Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining thngs to them.
― Antoine de Saint


Grown people with rational minds somehow do not
 know what's best for them.  Jude Morgan

Middle aged
Middle age is when you're old enough to know better but still young enough to do it.   Unknown

The old believe every thing ;the middle aged suspect every thing and the young know every thing. Oscar Wilde

                                Old age


“The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."


Said the old man, "I do that too."


The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."


I do that too," laughed the little old man.


Said the little boy, "I often cry."


The old man nodded, "So do  I.'' 


Shel Silverstein





Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of 
this I am sure.”   Nicholas Spark.


I hope  you enjoyed  the quotes.
