Slow Growing

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or growing:

    The poor live slow and hard; the rich, fast and easy. The rest of us shuffle along as we may.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Growing up means letting go of the dearest megalomaniacal dreams of our childhood. Growing up means knowing they can’t be fulfilled. Growing up means gaining the wisdom and skills to get what we want within the limitations imposed by reality—a reality which consists of diminished powers, restricted freedoms and, with the people we love, imperfect connections.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
