I know a man who is 25 years of age and behaves, acts, dispenses fine social etiquette befitting that of royal grace. When he speaks, his peers listen and their eyes gaze at his pivotal stature.
I also know of a man whose years are beyond 64. This individual speaks with a vulgar tongue and whose mannerisms are lacking in social etiquette. When he speaks, no one listens, when he rises and walks, no one cares to address his presence.
In this case, age does not matter. It is how one carries himself, defends himself before his peers and dictates the principle that he or she stands for.
The young Octavian, after-all, was able to outsmart the older and perceived wiser Cicero, as well as Marcus Antonius. In the end, it was the cunning brevity of the young Octavian that was responsible for the ushering of Pax Romana, thereby giving birth to an Empire.
Age does not matter. Actions speaks louder than a whining old wind bag.
