"Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age." ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Topic(s): Age More From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "On all the peaks lies peace." "Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable." "Few people have the imagination for reality." More In Age "Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can’t retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time."― Bernard Baruch "To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can do for those who study it."― Bertrand Russell "Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age."― Jonathan Swift
