Growing Ends

Famous quotes containing the words growing and/or ends:

    Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    All’s well that ends well! still the fine’s the crown;
    What e’er the course, the end is the renown.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
