Wisdom may or may not come with the years of old age: it is more likely to come with the labours in self-rule and the deepenings of study, concentration, and reflection, with the humbling religious veneration of the higher Power. It is, they say, its own reward but it is a bringer of gifts, of which inner peace is the most prominent and a kindly smile the most permanent.
