You cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does, she will wither without sun; she will decay in her sheath as a narcissus will if you do not give her air enough; she might fall and defile her head in dust if you leave her without help at some moments in her life; but you cannot fetter her; she must take her own fair form and way if she take any. (Quote by - John Ruskin)

Oh! what a vile and abject thing is man unless he can erect himself above humanity. Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself by means wholly celestial. It is for our Christian religion, and not for his Stoic virtue, to pretend to this divine and miraculous metamorphosis. (Quote by - Michael Eyquen de Montaigne)

Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness (Quote by - Jean Vanier)

Close scrutiny will show that most crisis situations are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are. (Quote by - Dr Maxwell Maltz)

The growth of understanding follows an ascending spiral rather than a straight line (Quote by - Joanna Field)

Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain. (Quote by - Diane Arbus)
