Summary

This quote suggests that a wise person is more concerned about the effects of aging on their mind rather than their physical appearance or abilities. Rather than mourning the loss of youth, a wise mind mourns the deterioration or decline in cognitive abilities or wisdom that age may bring. It highlights the importance of valuing and preserving intellectual capacity as one grows older, recognizing that wisdom and knowledge are enduring qualities that transcend physical attributes.
