A Tuesday Quote

I'm guessing that ten or fifteen years ago this would not have made much sense to me, but now I totally get it. It comes from the British novelist Anthony Trollope (1815-1882):

"It may almost be a question whether such
wisdom as many of us have in our mature
years has not come from the dying out of the
power of temptation, rather than as the
results of thought and resolution."
