The hoary head – Thomas Brooks

“The hoary head is a crown of glory if it is found in the way of righteousness.” Proverbs 16:31

A white head, accompanied with a holy heart, makes a man truly honorable.

There are two glorious sights in the world: the one is, a young man walking in his uprightness; and the other is, an old man walking in ways of righteousness.

A hoary head, when coupled with an unsanctified heart, is rather a curse than a blessing. When the head is as white as snow, and the soul as black as hell, God usually gives up such to the greatest scorn and contempt.
