When you're growing up your mother says,
"Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold." When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not
to
wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's
something like that. -Diane Arbus

When
we were children, we used to think that when we were
grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up
is
to accept vulnerability. . . . To be alive is to be
vulnerable. -Madeleine
L'Engle

| |
| Is
life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which
are too
small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who
must grow up. -Dag
Hammarskjold |

|
Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is
to grow up without getting old.
-Frank Lloyd Wright

Too many
people grow up. That's
the real trouble with the world,
too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember
what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children
as inferiors. Well I won't do that.
-Walt
Disney |
| |
| If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams
about
what life should be, then maturity is letting go again.
-Mary Beth
Danielson |

A grownup is a child with layers on.
-Woody Harrelson

| When
they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing.

Growing up is never easy to do. Some days you
feel happy and carefree,
and others you feel sad. Some days
you feel confident and self-assured,
and other days you feel
unsure. Life can seem upside down, because you're
changing
so quickly, but your life is made up of what you believe about
yourself. Believe in your ability to succeed, and you will.
Believe in your ability
to meet every difficult challenge,
and you will. Believe in your ability
to give and receive
love, and you will. Believe in yourself. You are
a
wonderful, unique person who is beginning to find out what the
world is
about and searching your place in it. Have patience
with yourself
and love yourself. Growing up isn't easy, but
you'll make it. -Donna Levine |

If you
haven't grown up by age forty,
you don't have to. -unattributed

| The
greatest day in your life and mine is when we take
total
responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly
grow
up. -John
Maxwell |
| |
|
Get
this in mind early: We never grow up.
-Richard
Bach
|

|
To exist is
to change, to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
-Henri Berson |
| |
|
I
was wise enough to never grow up while
fooling most
people into believing I had.
-Margaret
Mead

It takes courage to grow up and become who you
really are. -e.e. cummings |

When
I grow up I want to be a little boy.
-Joseph
Heller

When children learn that giving is more rewarding
than taking; when they learn that they can't control everything, but
they are masters of their own souls; when they learn to accept
people
whose difference they fear, and that pleasure is found in the power
in helping others; when they learn that the value of one's life is
best measured not by possession acquired, but by wisdom shared,
hope inspired, tears wiped, and hearts touched; when they learn
that happiness and lasting contentment are not to be found in what
a person has, but in what he or she is; when they learn to withhold
judgment of people, knowing that everyone is blessed with good and
bad qualities; when they learn that every person has been given the
gift of a unique self and the purpose of life is to share the very
best of that gift with the world. . . . When children learn these
ideals, they will no longer be children--they will be blessings to
those who know them, and worthy models for all the world's
children. -David L. Weatherford

| You grow up the day you have
your first real
laugh at yourself. -Ethel Barrymore |

|
All children are artists.
The problem is how to remain artists once they grow up.
