In Praise of Age

“In the Middle Ages a particular pope was so deeply revered that once a year he paraded through Rome’s streets wearing a ridiculous hat to discourage excessive veneration.   In our children’s eyes, we are always wearing such hats, but especially on our 50 th birthdays, when we have long ceased to be young and are a long way from being venerable.”   -George Will
