"A gray head does not make an elder. The demigods [seraphim, cherubs, thrones, dominations, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels, angels in the Christian Angelology, among other cultural perspectives] know him to be an elder who knows, even being he a child. Not by years, not by gray hairs, not by riches or many relations did the seers make the Law: "He is great to us who has learning".
