>>"Learning in old age is writing on sand, but learning in youth is
>>engraving on stone."

Obviously, this means that youth is easily inculcated and branded by early
forced learning, while those who have achieved old age, now wiser and more
experienced, can perceive nuance in truth and can accept the world's
learning in degrees of permanence, with vicissitudes of truth -- as written
in the shifting sands of time.
