Turning 50 is a little bit of a 'taking stock' moment. I feel probably a little dumber. I don't think I'm as sharp as I was when I was younger, but I'm definitely wiser and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type.

Australian Musician

Annie Besant

English Philosopher

Jerome K. Jerome

English Author

Fritz Zwicky
