Words of Wisdom from Rip Van Winkle

Found this while I was reading Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle.
Context: Rip is a cuckholded man who is married to a very harsh, critical woman. Someone I don't want to be.

A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener by constant use.
