Fool: If thou wert my fool nuncle, Id have thee beaten for being old before thy time

King Lear: Hows that fool?

Fool : Thou shouldst not have been old before thou hadst been wise.

( King Lear Act II scene I)

Interesting isnt it how people assume that once they have the grye hari and beard of the old the become wise with no work whatsoever on their part. And what is sadder still is that once they become "wise" they automatically belive that all those who are not 'gray' are stupid foolish fools.
