Growing

Famous quotes containing the word growing:

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“No one longs to live more than someone growing old.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
