Summary

This quote highlights the idea that age is not solely determined by the number of years a person has lived, but rather by their disposition and physical well-being. It suggests that individuals can possess a seemingly mature or "old" demeanor from birth, while others may never fully develop a sense of maturity or remain youthful in their outlook. It implies that chronological age alone does not define one's vitality or level of maturity, as temperament and overall health play significant roles as well.
