    Wisdom doesn't come from age, it comes from living an examined life - taking/seeking knowledge from your own experiences and others. Which sounds simple, something that every human likely does, but that is not the case.

    With enough money/power one can delusionally assert their will on others/world until they run out of money - or life.

    "To Thine Own Self Be True" from Polonius's speech in Hamlet is a good line on living the examined life, but the rest of the speech has some bangers as well.
