Oscar WildeI'm too old to know everything
About This Quote
When you say you're too old to know everything, you mean that you don't know everything. When your grandpa says he's too old to do something, it doesn't mean that he can't do it; it means that he should do it differently. By saying you can't do something, you're saying that it's too hard and complex for you. Saying "I'm too old to know everything" means that your brain is like a fine wine: It gets better with age and learning. The further along in life we get, the more we tend to know.
