Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.

Summary

This quote suggests that 40 is an age where youth begins to fade and maturity sets in, marking the transition from young adulthood to middle-age.

The quote captures the notion that age is relative and can be perceived differently depending on one's perspective and societal expectations.
