Summary

This quote suggests that as individuals grow older, they naturally face various physical limitations and challenges associated with old age. Therefore, it is important for older adults to not compound these difficulties by indulging in immoral or corrupt behaviors, adding a "deformity of vice" to their already existing struggles. It emphasizes the notion that with age comes a certain level of wisdom and integrity, and one should strive to maintain virtuous qualities even in the face of the unavoidable adversities brought by aging.
