Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:
“One may be old in years, but not in spirit, or poor in wealth, but not in ambition.”
—Chinese proverb.
“You know that the nucleus of a time is not
The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
