Enarrationes in psalmos 62,6
Quote 03 6
Nothing in our life has stability: infancy flies by in order to arrive at childhood; you search for infancy, and it is no more, it has disappeared with childhood. This in turn passes to adolescence; you search for childhood, and it is no more. Adolescent has become the young man; you search for adolescence, and this you will not find. The young becomes old, the young has gone. Death comes to the old man; you search for the old man, and this you will not find. Such is our life, it lacks stability.
