The older I grow the more I distrust that familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. H. L. Mencken

One of the guys at breakfast club said this a while back and while I burst out laughing, it also made me think.

“I was looking at a guy who had really white hair thinking to myself that he must be very wise… as you know with age comes wisdom… but then I realized, even the stupid get old.”

I really have nothing to add to that.
