When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.

Now I got kids and I'm more wise now. Life means more to me than having fun. I'm more calm, more wise, and more cautious.

And how we become like our parents! How their scorned advice - based, we felt in our superiority, on prejudices and muddled folk wisdom - how their opinions are subsequently borne out by our own discoveries and sense of the world, one after one. And as this happens, we realise with increasing horror that proposition which we would never have entertained before: our mothers were right!

My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.

I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.

Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.

We all grow up. Hopefully, we get wiser. Age brings wisdom, and fatherhood changes one's life completely.

As you get older, you grow and you revaluate.

My kids have really brought me into maturity on another level and I really appreciate them for that.

I used to get so upset when my parents took away my phone and then I realized it's because they wanted the best for me and my brothers. I have a whole new appreciation for how they raised us.

As you get older, all the things your parents said to you when you were younger ring true, but when you're younger, you reject them.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.
