[lit-ideas] Thought of the Day

He does qualify it as "[he] ever met".  Who becomes a revolutionary in middle 
age? I suppose the Founding Fathers weren't undergraduate, that's true.  On the

revolutionary or middle aged radical.  

"The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The 
radicals are the men past middle life."
Woodrow Wilson
