"強い古いものは萎れない。"
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Things or people that are old but still strong don't lose their strength or value over time. Imagine a big, ancient tree that has been standing for hundreds of years. Even though it is old, it continues to stand tall and provide shade, showing its strength and resilience. Similarly, think about wise grandparents who might be older, but their advice and love remain powerful and important. This saying reminds us that age does not diminish the worth or effectiveness of something or someone that is strong. It teaches us to appreciate and respect the strength and wisdom that come with age, rather than just focusing on being young. We can apply this to our lives by valuing the older things and people around us, recognizing their continued importance and allowing their strength to inspire us.
