Do you believe wisdom comes with age?

I don’t know where to stand exactly on this question.
I personally believe wisdom comes with experience rather than age, then again, more experience comes with age.

But, I’ve personally come to realize that even the youngest can have wisdom, while eldest can be nothing but ignorant. And it all depends on the person.

I believe that wisdom comes with experience.

The older we are, the more time we have had to have a rich variety of experiences. But, there are some people who manage to age while keeping their heads in the ground and not staying open to experiences. These folks probably do not accumulate as much wisdom as they could.

And some people experience more than their share while they are still young, and are "wise beyond their years", to use a cliche expression.
