This quote reminds me of something my brother said that is likewise very quotable: “We all inherit a present bequeathed to us by a younger, stupider version of ourselves.” -Andrew Marchand

I like my brother’s version, because it reminds me to have compassion for my own younger self who didn’t yet know what I know. And that is true of everyone.
