Becoming Wise Requires a Lifetime

Painting by Martin Driscoll

At fifteen I was committed to learning. At thirty I took my rightful position. At forty, I was no longer totally perplexed. At fifty, I began to understand the unfolding of my true nature. At sixty, I was in harmony with contradictions and ambivalence. At seventy, at long last, I may follow my heart's desire without going astray.

~Confucius
