Notable quotes

“Growth for the sake of growth is a cancerous madness.”
— Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire, "Water", p. 114 (1968).
“You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.”
— Alexander Graham Bell, Bell Telephone Talk, Interview with Bell published in How They Succeeded (1901) by Orison Swett Marden, Ch. 2. (1901).
“Self growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no higher investment.”
— Stephen Covey, The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, p. 62 (1989).
“Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.”
— Anne Morrow Lindbergh, The Wave of the Future (1940).
“Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind; how the observation of last year seems childish, superficial; how this year — even this week — even with this new phrase — it seems to us that we have grown to a new maturity. It may be a fallacious persuasion, but at least it is stimulating, and so long as it persists, one does not stagnate.”
— Vita Sackville-West, Twelve Days (1928) p. 9; part of this appears to have also become paraphrased in the form:
“Jock, when ye hae naething else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a tree; it will be growing, Jock, when ye're sleeping.”
— Walter Scott, The Heart of Midlothian, Chapter VIII.
