That strongly reminded me of a quote which I can't seem to
find on my hard drive or at Bartlett. It went something
like "liberal(democrat?) by 20 and a conservative(rep?)
by 40", somewhat of a reverse to your metaphor.

"If you are not a Liberal when you are 20, it shows you have no heart
If you are not a Conservative by the time you are 40, it shows you have
no brain"

Variously attributed to Winston Chuchhill, Bismark and others.

towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy
pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung.
