History is rich with philosophical comebacks of this sort:



"Oh, to be young, and know everything."    -- James Barrie

Young men think old men fools; old men know young men to be such.

Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and strength.

The young may know the rules.   But the old know the exceptions.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young 
know everything. --Oscar Wilde

The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

You're only young once -- after that you need another excuse.

We have enough youth- what we need is a fountain of Smart.

Every age has its peculiar folly.




"I *am* in touch with my inner child.  Be warned, the little bastard 
bites!"
