The grandest of all laws is the law of progressive development. Under it, in the wide sweep of things, men grow wiser as they grow older, and societies better.
It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.
In time we grow older, we grow wiser, we grow smarter, and we're better. And I feel like I'm becoming more seasoned, although I don't have my salt-and-pepper hair.
As we grow older we grow both more foolish and wiser at the same time.
The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.
I'm just seeing as I grow older, and hopefully wiser, that a lot of things I see from a race perspective are class problems too, so I should be advocating for all.
State are not made, nor patched; they grow; Grow slow through centuries of pain, And grow correctly in the main; But only grow by certain laws, Of certain bits in certain jaws.
The old idea that you grow wiser as you get older, and you learn from your elders, is actually completely wrong.
You grow, you mature, you live, and you learn. You get a little wiser, and you learn better ways to handle things.
As you grow older, your music begins to mature and grow older along with you.
Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Does man's freedom consist in revolting against all laws? We say no, in so far as laws are natural, economic, and social laws, not authoritatively imposed but inherent in things, in relations, in situations, the natural development of which is expressed by those laws. We say YES if they are political and juridical laws, imposed upon men by men.
Some folks as they grow older grow wise but most folks simply grow stubborner.
I want to grow. I want to be better. You Grow. We all grow. We're made to grow.You either evolve or you disappear.
Women, as they grow older, rely more and more on cosmetics. Men, as they grow older, rely more and more on a sense of humor.
Be militant! Be an organization that is going to do things! If you can find older men who will give you countenance and acceptableleadership, follow them; but if you cannot, organize separately and dispense with them. There are only two sorts of men to be associated with when something is to be done: Those are young men and men who never grow old.
