The words "old than" seem to be quoted as "older than" by some sources,
so use the more likely and grammatically correct text.

fortunes, but occasionally remove them from the other 2 files when
they are not offensive, or not murphy'ish enough.
Where the version in fortunes had better attribution and/or formatting,
copy it over.
2. Fix a few typos
3. Use the full name of François De La Rochefoucauld, fix one of his
quotes, and remove the duplicate of it.
Our copy was a bastardization of the "older" (probably original?) and
shorter version of the poem; and the "newer" version that is better
known, and arguably more popular. Standardize on the latter.

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

From the original PR:
s/milestones/millstones/
and less important..
s/man/Man/
Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
source yet, so I can't say for sure.

The quote predated rev. 1.232, which rev. 1.259 was to correct;
therefore it was protected by the "Don't remove fortunes" rule.
