A colleague of mine once said to me: "all Aristotle ever did was say a series of sensible things".

Every time I read Aristotle, I recall this pithy summary and think that it was bang on the money.

According to this chap, Pythagoras said life is divided into four equal quarters: “twenty years a boy, twenty years a youth, twenty years a young man, and twenty years old”.

I’m on board with that. It means I’m still a young man. 😁
