growth

It is only barbarous nations who have a sudden growth after a victory

Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.

Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.

When we accomplish one thing, our ego wants to bask in the glory, though our soul is ready to move on to the next.

We grow from our dreams.

Never make someone a priority when they only see you as an option.

Kids from small families grow about an inch taller than those from large families. This is true regardless of income and social class, because a body can't grow well while fighting off nine siblings' cold viruses.

Her body accepted my brutal seed and took it to swell within, just as the patient earth accepts a falling fruit into its tender soil to cradle and nourish it to grow. Came a time, just springtime last, our infant child pushed through the fragile barrier of her womb. Her legs branched out, just as the wood branches out from these eternal trees around us; but she was not hardy as they. My wife groaned with blood and ceased to breathe. Aye!, a scornful eve that bred the kind of pain only a god can withstand.

Adapt to your surrounding but remain flexible for growing.

Something to remember... You only get one chance to grow and live, so make it Beautiful!

Once a year I need to hear you tell me how proud you are of me for growing a little more.

Status quo or grow: You are in control of your future.

Movement turns dead dogs into maggots and daisies, and flour butter sugar an egg and a tablespoon of milk into Abernethy biscuits, and spermatozoa and ovaries into fishy little plants growing babyward if we take no care to stop them.

In many areas of life, freedom is not so much the absence of restrictions as finding the right ones, the liberating restrictions. Those that fit with the reality of our nature and the world produce greater power and scope for our abilities and a deeper joy and fulfillment. Experimentation, risk, and making mistakes bring growth only if, over time, they show us our limits as well as our abilities. If we only grow intellectually, vocationally, and physically through judicious constraints__hy would it not also be true for spiritual and moral growth? Instead of insisting on freedom to create spiritual reality, shouldn__ we be seeking to discover it and disciplining ourselves to live according to it?

Happiness is a state of mind and not a state of possession. Be as you are and you will be happy, if you try to be someone else you will be miserable.

Purpose expresses most deeply what makes you a unique individual. Your purpose defines who you are, how you live your life and how you lead. Your purpose provides you with inner strength and drive to live and lead each day. It equips you with what you need to face the challenges of the day and of life. Your purpose provides context and meaning to your life.

Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?

We do not handle suffering. Suffering handles us.
