Quote by Harold MacMillan
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that both young and old people have the potential to act foolishly. It implies that young people may lack the life experience and wisdom to recognize their own foolish actions, while older individuals may reflect on their past mistakes and acknowledge their own foolishness. Essentially, it conveys the idea that sometimes it takes time and maturity to fully understand and appreciate one's own foolishness at different stages of life.
