Aphorism #20 A Man of the Age.

The rarest individuals depend on their age. It is not every one that finds the age he deserves, and even when he finds it he does not always know how to utilise it. Some men have been worthy of a better century, for every species of good does not always triumph. Things have their period; even excellences are subject to fashion. The sage has one advantage: he isimmortal. If this is not his century many others will be.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=CBcUoYJ67ME:60hPJ9qLvd8:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=CBcUoYJ67ME:60hPJ9qLvd8:qj6ID K7rITs)

One of his very best. This is why often people with talent are irremediably bypassed by the age as anachronisms. But of course, eventually they will be recognized posthumously. No doubt. Clear, succinct, a collector's item from perspicacious Balthasar.
