The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old

Summary

This quote suggests that the inability to learn, especially as one gets older, is not solely a result of age. Instead, it implies that a person who remains resistant or reluctant to learn throughout their life was likely never open to learning in the first place. The quote addresses the notion that the willingness to learn and grow is influenced by one's mindset and attitude, rather than being solely defined by age or time.
