Spurgeon on the "Virtue Of Age"

"Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded." (Titus 2:6)

C.H. Spurgeon wrote the following words in comment upon this passage. I thought it was worth sharing.

"They are full of spirits, they are very sanguine, they are apt to be carried away with novelties; exhort them to have that which is thought to be a virtue of age, namely, sobriety. Let them be old when they are young that they may be young when they are old."

One could "chew on" these words for a good while!
