Growth And Development Quotes
Showing: 1 - 10 Growth And Development Quotes of 28
There is a time in our life when we need to strut our stuff and groove on grandiosity, when we need to be viewed as remarkable and rare, when we need to exhibit ourself in front of a mirror that reflects our self-admiration, when we need a parent to function as that mirror.
I know the most important faculty to develop is one for hard, continuous and varied work and living; but the difference between knowing this and doing anything consistent about it is often abysmal.
Whatever is formed for long duration arrives slowly to its maturity.
As every parent knows, children go through an adolescent growth spurt, during which they put on inches at an alarming rate. Humans are unique in this respect: most mammalian species, including apes, progress almost directly from infancy to adulthood.
The great golden goal of every childhood-being a Grownup-seemed impossibly far away. There were for us no intermediate goals to fill the great, dull gap; no graduation from one stage of education to the next; no adolescent "first parties" to look forward to.
Some people are molded by their admirations, others by their hostilities.
The child is not a prisoner of its inheritance; it holds its inheritance as a new creation which its future actions will unfold.
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
Every one should keep a mental wastepaper basket and the older he grows the more things he will consign to it-torn up to irrecoverable tatters.
The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.
