The Master said: "At fifteen, I set my heart on learning. At thirty, I stood firm. At forty, I had no doubts. At fifty, I understood the decrees of Heaven. At sixty, my ear was attuned to truth — I could discern right from wrong in all that I heard. At seventy, I could follow whatever my heart desired without transgressing what was right."
