Does anyone know the origin?

does anyone know the origin of this statement?

"Youth and enthusiasm will always be overtaken by old age and cunning."

I think that's the phrasing.

I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Only reference I could find relates to this joke. Stacks of links but always the same joke.

Dear LR:


Before lying down for a nap, I searched the Net in a cursory way for the source of your quote.

All I seem to be able to determine is that some 18th century French writers liked embedding it in their texts, and that it's a favoirte quip at the Kiwanis and Breakfast Lions meetings.

But I DID find this neat site about Japanese inventions. Perhaps one of these will spawn a column?

My favorite is the plunger helmet:

here is my version of the joke

from The Pookah Papers

In my dream Martha Stewart was demonstrating to Jessica Alba the proper and formal way to perform fellatio. I was a priapic crash-test dummy with a perpetual erection and a smile enameled on my face. This gig sure beats being driven into brick walls at sixty miles per hour. As Jessica Alba drew her collogen pout slowly over my wooden member MS adjusted her hand into the socially correct position. No, no it's more of a swirling motion. I'm going to show you one more time. Boy could that Martha suck cock. It was a classic case of technique over enthusiasm. Only thing was, they had this sensor on me and every time it said I was about to ejaculate Martha would break for a commercial. I woke in the gooey pool of my own anticipation.
