Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

Summary

This quote suggests that some elderly individuals tend to idealize their youth and claim that there were no foolish people during that time. However, the irony lies in the fact that these elderly individuals are themselves living examples of the foolishness they claim did not exist. It serves as a reminder that nostalgia can sometimes distort reality and that it is important to reflect on one's own actions and judgments before glorifying the past.
