| |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | All change is not growth; as all movement is not forward | | Ellen Glasgow | | | All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience. | | Henry Miller | | | But everything that may some day be possible to many the solitary man can now prepare and build with his hands, that err less. Therefore, dear sir, love your solitude and bear with sweet-sounding lamentation the suffering it causes you. For those who are near you are far, you say, and that shows it is beginning to grow wide about you. And when what is near you is far, then your distance is already among the stars and very large; rejoice in your growth, in which you naturally can take no one with you, and be kind to those who remain behind, and be sure and calm before them and do not torment them with your doubts and do not frighten them with your confidence or joy, which they could not understand. Seek yourself some sort of simple and loyal community with them, which need not necessarily change as you yourself become different and again different; love in them life in an unfamiliar form and be considerate of aging people, who fear that being-alone in which you trust. | | Rainer Maria Rilke | | | | | | | Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential. | | Bruce Lee | | | Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death | | Albert Einstein | | | Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us; there have been many circulation of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud. | | George Eliot | | | The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice. | | George Eliot | | | There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder | | Ronald Reagan | | | We find comfort among those who agree with us -- growth among those who don't. | | Frank A. Clark | | | | | | | Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. | | Benjamin Franklin | | | | | Quotes: 1 - 15 of 15 | Pages: 1 | | | |
