But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.
All Commentaries on Wisdom of Solomon 4:9 Go To Wisdom of Solomon 4
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Who would deny that adolescence and, in the beginning, youth itself, churn under the delusion of the various passions? Or that when a more mature age arrives, inasmuch as the season of youthful lusts fades away, it gives way to tranquility, and the boat of the exhausted soul arrives at quiet ports? The violent movements of our adolescence, therefore, are calmed in the tranquil season of old age.
