Age

If age bring experience with it – a cooler & a riper judgment –
if by it the intellectual faculties are strengthened – youth presents on
the other hand valuable & virtuous qualities which are not alas
fortified by time long life – for youth is the season of generous affections –
of warm & glowing sympathies – of zeal & of activity. And even
in its want of reflection occasions there are in which difficulties are
vanquished by it because their magnitude has not been perceived – difficulties
against which perhaps reflection would have counselled a more
advanced intelligence not to contend. Youth too has a longer period
of recompense or punishment before it – its calculations of the fruitfulness of
pains & pleasures are spread over a wider future field – its susceptibilities
are more intense – its hopes are brighter – it has more to gain
& more to lose – its destinies are not fixed, – but remain to be called
up to a great extent by the tendencies itself must give.

From the novi homines the great advances must be
expected – unpalled by satiety of honors, to them the slightest
regale is a banquet the most exquisite.
