Adia Khan:

The quote which is (I want to discuss) being discussed is taken from the writings of Francis Bacon. The famous English essayist and writer, he says, "Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.” He repeats the word “old” four times in his under refrence quotation. Therefore, it is seems to be, his focus on the word “old.” He says, “Old wood best to burn”, because, when old wood burn, it cause less annoyance to its user eyes due to its dryness .That’s why old wood is more preferable rather than new trees wood, because it is more seasoned and dry. Furthermore, he says, “Old wine to drink,” because people like to drink old wine, which gives more pleasure and satisfaction to a men who drink it, than to fresh and new wine. After that, “Old friends to trust,” the old friends are merely more familiar with a person and his shortcomings, while new one takes time to adjust with him. At the end he says, “Old authors to read.” The books, which have written by classical writers, are more comprehensive than contemporary writer’s books. The many new authors draw their ideas from old and standard books. The main message, which he wants to convey, is; older people are wiser than young people. Besides this, the seniors are better to trust with respect to their experiences regarding to the matter of life, due to this reason, one can take thier suggestions in the course of life. However, most of the time people do not like their elder’s suggestions. The youngsters often say, when elder’s every part of body is decying such as, their teeth, their eyesight, their muscles, and strength, so, how they could guide them. Despite the fact, the Youngers are unaware to the reality of life and its challenges they assume themselves more knowldge able than their elders. However, the men in their youth do not know, as, the hypothesis becomes law after many observations and experiments, same, as age appears to be best, who is more aged, would be more sagacious and astute..............

"The youngsters often say, when their elder’s every part of body is decaying such as, their teeth, their eyesight, their muscles, and strength, so, how they could guide them".

Earlier,I tried to write such a way, but later I delete "Their" to from it. Alphecca Star.I'm bothering you a lot, but, I know you are so nice, and you can understand English is not a my first language due to this reason I'm making so many mistakes.

Adia Khan"The person who is in his old age, he is more profound than young man"

No.

Profound is not used with people. Profound is used with books, poems, speeches, thoughts, high emotions (grief, sorrow) and that kind of thing.

You can use any of these adjectives: wise, perceptive, sagacious, tolerant, experienced, learned, insightful, or worldly.

Or you can say: writes / speaks more profoundly

"in his old age" is not natural. Say "An old man" or "An elderly man"
or use an idiom: A man who is long in the tooth...

You have two subjects, person and he. So the sentence is not grammatically correct. Also person refers to both men and women, yet you use the masculine pronouns - his and he- and a male comparative - "young man."

"young man" needs an article. "the" would match the article you used with "person."

People can absolutely be profound.

Anonymous · Answer

Adia is correct. People can think or speak a profound thought, but people are not profound. People are wise - their ideas or thoughts are profound.
