I'm obsessed with proverbs because, to me, flexing is being able to say the most with the least amount of words.

It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution.

Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age, making them less reactive and more patient, and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.

I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.
