Homer (8th and 7th century BCE Greek Poet)
“Young men are never dependable, but
when an old man takes a hand in such affairs, he considers the
future as well as the past, and the result is the best for both
parties.”
- From The Iliad (Book 3) by Homer, translated by E. V. Rieu and revised by Peter Jones (Penguin Classics, 2014).
