Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom is not solely determined by age or the number of years one has lived, but rather by one's inherent ability or aptitude. It implies that intelligence, discernment, and understanding are not necessarily dependent on the accumulation of life experiences, but can be possessed by individuals of any age. In other words, wisdom is more about innate capability and the capacity to make insightful judgments, rather than being exclusively linked to the passage of time.

Instead of replying, Alec reached down and took Magnus's hands. Magnus let Alec pull him to his feet, a questioning look in his eyes. Before he could say anything, Alec drew him closer and kissed him. Magnus made a soft, pleased sound, and gripped the back of Alec's shirt, rucking it up, his fingers cool on Alec's spine. Alec leaned into him, pinning Magnus between the table and his own body. Not that Magnus seemed to mind.'Come on,' Alec said against Magnus's ear. 'It's late. Let's go to bed.
