thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach

a book.

Knowledge
comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store
up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a
comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments

tempering heat of experience and maturity.
-- Calvin Coolidge
