I'd say " brains", because if you're dumb , "maturity" (let's be honest = age !) won't make you more clever !
I agree with this. Old and wise is great, but you have to have some intelligence in the first place. You can still be old and dim.
Now maybe you're thinking, the older you get, the more knowledge and wisdom you garner, true but it's what you do with that knowledge and wisdom - you can be mature but still be unkind or selfish or greedy, none of which equals intelligence.

I agree 100% with this. You CAN still be unkind, selfish, greedy: and those do not equal intelligence. And being old doesn't make someone smart.
