Quote by Mark Twain

When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look

Summary

This quote suggests that when people around you start complimenting you for looking young, it is an indication that you are actually getting older. It captivates the irony of receiving such compliments because, while it may initially seem like a positive affirmation, it highlights the fact that the perception of youthfulness in comparison to one's age is diminishing. The quote humorously points out that the act of openly acknowledging someone's youthful appearance serves as a subtle reminder of the person's aging process.
