"Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable
for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower
season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits."
- Samuel Butler

I don't know about Autumn being the "mellower season" especially here in Denver where temperatures change so dramatically within only hours and I don't think anyone considers hurricane season as very mellow. But, I liked the "over praised" bit of of spring (and youth).
