As the pioneer Air mail pilot E. Hamilton Lee said

Don't be a show-off.
Never be too proud to turn back.
There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots.

Which he absconded from Terence McKenna who proffered:

"There are old shamans
There are bold shamans
But there are no old, bold shamans."

Suggesting a hint of bravery and good sense go hand in hand when hand
to mouth with psychoactive plants.

If by "absconded from" you mean "stole," (which is a sense I've never
encountered), you should know that Lee was 64 the year McKenna was
born. I assume you were just trolling but it worked out well for me
because I'd never read about Lee before. So, thanks.
