Famous quotes containing the word growth:

    All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Interpretation is the evidence of growth and knowledge, the latter through sorrow— that great teacher.
    Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)

    That land is like an Eagle, whose young gaze
    Feeds on the noontide beam, whose golden plume
    Floats moveless on the storm, and in the blaze
    Of sunrise gleams when Earth is wrapped in gloom;
    An epitaph of glory for the tomb
    Of murdered Europe may thy fame be made,
    Great People! as the sands shalt thou become;
    Thy growth is swift as morn, when night must fade;
    The multitudinous Earth shall sleep beneath thy shade.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
