Reminds me of an old plaque my Swedish grandma had.

We get smart too late and old too fast. Only what's done for God will last.

It's because, as I have found even in my short 23 years, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

Yeah, I figure that by the time I'm 90, I'll finally realize that I don't really know anything.

We're just trying to be friendly, ome watch us sing and play. We're the young generation, and we got something to say.

As long as you take time to enjoy them, the phases of life are great aren’t they.

If the only reason you lost your job was because someone younger was willing to accept lower pay, you could remedy that by accepting lower pay yourself. Your beef is misplaced, kind of like a steak in front of a vegan.

Uh? Clay was giving a hypothetical. His use of 'you' should have been read as 'If ONE loses their job...'

There's a motto that one of those self help siminars uses, goes like this

"It's what you don't know that you don't know- that is the problem"

And another bit of wisdom:

"You are only as old as you think you are, but never as important."

- SSG Dave Heffner, 14S30

“I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is
always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is
wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the
old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks
it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.”

Attributed to G.K. Chesterton


"Youth is wasted on the young"

...while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.”

Great quote.
