Youth is presumptuous, old age is timid: the former aspires to live, the latter has lived.

Youth is presumptuous, old age is timid: the former aspires to live, the latter has lived.

Youth is presumptuous, old age is timid: the former aspires to live, the latter has lived.

Youth is presumptuous, old age is timid: the former aspires to live, the latter has lived.
