Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight he'll just kill you.
John Steinbeck
Not a quote per se' but.....
Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard.
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
from The Ballad of Reading Gaol - Oscar Wilde
We are bits of stellar matter that got cold by accident, bits of a star gone wrong.
