It's never too late to learn Solon's famous sayings.
The phrase "never too old to learn" comes from Solon, a famous politician in ancient Athens, and literally translates as "I learn a lot as I get older". Solon won the title of "the first poet in Athens" in his early years. Before and after the "Solon Reform" which destroyed the clan system, he traveled around.
He retired at home in his later years, engaged in research and writing, and often chanted "Never too old to learn" to encourage himself. The famous biographer Plutarch quoted this famous saying in Solon's Life. Rousseau, a French enlightener in the 18th century, quoted and played it in his later work "A Lonely Walker's reverie". Since then, Solon's famous saying has been passed down to this day. ?
