"In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long"
- Pope Paul VI
About this Quote
This quote by Pope Paul VI speaks with the idea that time passes differently depending upon one's age. In youth, the days seem to pass rapidly, while the years appear to drag out. This is most likely since when we are young, we aspire to experience brand-new things and grow up rapidly. On the other hand, in aging, the years seem to zip, while the days seem to last forever. This is most likely because when we are older, we have actually experienced much of life and are content to take things slowly. This quote is a tip to appreciate the time we have in each stage of life, and to make the most of it.
