ranasrule Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Anyone know who the following quotations is by ? Also do you agree with it ? "If you are not a sage when around 50 is your age its better to get off the stage" FMH 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted May 4, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just to clarify, a sage is someone of wisdom that no longer seeks it, or someone that thinks they are wise when in reality they are not. From that, I would say that I disagree with the quote. A sage has no age, so I would say that it is other people telling a person to go away because they think they are wiser even if that isn't the case.

Rohdekill Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 People actually say "when around fifty is your age"? Why not "by age 50" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman273 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have to agree with the OP. sage1 noun 1. a profoundly wise person; a person famed for wisdom. 2. someone venerated for the possession of wisdom, judgment, and experience. People actually say "when around fifty is your age"? Why not "by age 50" ? Because then it doesn't rhyme! And who wants a cool saying that doesn't rhyme? No one, that's who. And the only Google result of that quote is this thread. ranasrule and FiB3R 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If you are not a sage when around 50 is your age its better to get off the stage" A sage by definition needs someone or a group to venerate their knowledge one cannot just say "Im a sage" and I agree with Nick just because people venerate a person does not make them any wiser than anybody else they may even be wrong i.e. US religious groups like controlled by David Koresh [Waco seige]. Historically Id suggest sages were extremely old before their "wisdom" was cherished or sought so 50 is rather young to be wordly wise you`d be looking to be nearer 80 or more.
