Summary

This quote suggests that as individuals grow older, they naturally face various physical limitations and challenges associated with old age.

It emphasizes the notion that with age comes a certain level of wisdom and integrity, and one should strive to maintain virtuous qualities even in the face of the unavoidable adversities brought by aging.
