Elderly people wear the crown of long experience, and they can boast of nothing finer than their fear of the Lord.

I will tell you about ten kinds of people that I feel fortunate to know, especially fortunate in the case of the tenth:

    someone who lives to see his enemies fall,
    a man fortunate enough to have an understanding wife,
    a married couple who are well-matched,[a]
    a person who never speaks sinfully,
    a person who doesn't have to work for someone less competent than himself,
