With age
There are many sayings about age and wisdom, most ring true, some not so.
True:
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men.
Kin Hubbard (1868 - 1930)
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower
Could be agued:
Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.
Abigail Van Buren (1918 - )
I’d like to add one.
‘If you’re a woman a few things happen with age. You get breasts, the ability to have children and a desire to build a nest. You also learn to control your emotions. No one tells you you’re going start sprouting hair from your chin and you’re going to need a plastering qualification to fill the cracks next to your eyes. That was not in the advertising materials!’

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.
William Penn (1644 - 1718)
A very wise man! :-)
