Grows Quotes (page 114)

Ramakrishna quote: "Through selfless work, love of God grows in heart."
Through selfless work, love of God grows in heart. Ramakrishna
... keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development; you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can perhaps answer.-Letter One Rainer Maria Rilke
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Everybody wants to be somebody, but nobody wants to grow..."
Everybody wants to be somebody, but nobody wants to grow... Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Henry Ward Beecher quote: "A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of..."
A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of a man’s history. It is a man’s duty to have books. Henry Ward Beecher
I hadn't gotten old enough yet to realize that living sends a person not into the future but back into the past, to childhood and before birth, finally, to commune with the dead. You get older, you puff on the stairs, you enter the body of your father. From there it's only a quick jump to your grandparents, and then before you know it you're time traveling. In this life we grow backwards. Jeffrey Eugenides
As little flowers, which the chill of night has bent and huddled, when the white sun strikes, grow straight and open fully on their stems, so did I, too, with my exhausted force. Dante Alighieri
The Sucking [of the blood] mesmerized me; the warm struggling of the man was soothing to the tension of my hands; and there came the beating of the drum again, which was the drumbeat of his heart - only this time it beat in perfect rhythm with the drumbeat of my own heart, the two resounding in every fiber of my being, until the bet began to grow slower and slower, so that each was a soft rumble that that threatened to go on without end. I was drowsing, falling into weightlessness; Anne Rice
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine; Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go.... Oh, you cannot go, without me. Rumi
Robert Plant quote: "I don't see what the point is in growing up."
I don't see what the point is in growing up. Robert Plant
There's something unrefined about a reading woman, they always reek of the lamp. How can she grow up to be a lady if she's always got her nose in a book? Granny Rudin Florence King
Calvin: Look, a dead bird! Hobbes: It must've hit a window. Calvin: Isn't it beautiful? It's so delicate. Sighhh... once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is. You realize that nature is ruthless and our existence is very fragile, temporary, and precious. But to go on with your daily affairs, you can't really think about that...which is probably why everyone takes the world for granted and why we act so thoughtlessly. It's very confusing. I suppose it will all make sense when... Bill Watterson
Christian community is like the Christian's sanctification. It is a gift of God which we cannot claim. Only God knows the real state of our fellowship, of our sanctification. What may appear weak and trifling to us may be great and glorious to God. Just as the Christian should not be constantly feeling his spiritual pulse, so, too, the Christian community has not been given to us by God for us to be constantly taking its temperature. The more thankfully we daily receive what is given to us,... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Doris Day quote: "The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know..."
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it. Doris Day
It was growing late, and though one might stand on the brink of a deep chasm of disaster, one was still obliged to dress for dinner. Georgette Heyer
Why, oh why must one grow up, why must one inherit this heavy, numbing responsibility of living an undiscovered life? Out of the nothingness and the undifferentiated mass, to make something of herself! But what? In the obscurity and pathlessness to take a direction! But whither? How take even one step? And yet, how stand still? This was torment indeed, to inherit the responsibility of one’s own life. David Herbert Lawrence
