Growth

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.

Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Every artist was first an amateur.

The only journey is the one within.

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.
