Derived from a "Quotable Quote" I submitted to Reader's Digest in '68. They paid me $25 and said it would appear in "a yet to be determined edition." I never saw it in print until it was the Daily CryptoQuote in the OKC paper many years ago.

The Quotable Quote: "'Whoever said, "Age is just a state of mind," was out of his."'

After a while, You may find That age is not “Just a state of mind"; So, you should hope That time is kind.
