About This Quote

“Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improves with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place" The words of wisdom above by Groucho Marx perfectly describe the process of aging and the qualities we gain through it.

Aging, or growing older, is a natural process and we can't do anything to prevent it nor can we do anything to speed up the process. However, we can change our lives after we turn forty and fifty years old by learning what we need to learn in order to continue growing and learning throughout our entire lives. Wisdom isn't automatic; neither is aging.
