The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.
George Eliot
"For all those years you’ve protected the seed. It’s time to become the beautiful flower."
-- Stephen C. Paul
"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again."
Abraham Maslow
All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
Henry Miller
