In the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, many characters such as Creon, Oedipus, Laius and Jocasta, sought out the oracle in order to ask for…

He was stating that one is not useful based on age, but chiefly on knowledge, and this skill can lead to greater things. I agree with this quote because of a personal anecdote.
