Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. on age

The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live.

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
