Swift Insight

From Jonathan's Swift's Resolutions for When I Come To Be Old:

Marry a young Woman.

Keep young Company unless they really desire it.
Be peevish or morose, or suspicious.

Whatever you do, don't allow yourself to look at celebrity birthdays in the newspapers and ask yourself, "who are these people!??!?!"

All good except not marrying a young woman. Sorry, at 52 my 30-something wife is a thing of beauty, only outshone by my 3 year old son. My advice to old guys, absolutely go young!
