Physical maturity is bound to time. Spiritual maturity is bound to obedience.

John Bevere

A man's age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man's age represents a fine cargo of experience and memories.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.

Oswald Chambers

The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower it is in arriving at maturity. A man reaches the maturity of his reasoning powers and mental faculties hardly before the age of twenty-eight; a woman at eighteen.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.

John C. Maxwell

Maturity involves two elements: 1) immediate obedience in specific situations and 2) long-range character growth.

Larry Crabb

By obedience a man is guarded against pride. Prayer is given for the sake of obedience. The grace of the Holy Spirit is also given for obedience. This is why obedience is higher than prayer and fasting.

Silouan the Athonite

Maturity comes with experience, not age.

Ziad K. Abdelnour

Age is no guarantee of maturity.

Lawana Blackwell

All men who give up themselves in obedience unto God, they are received in Christ's obedience, viz. in the fulfilling of the obedience, the Jew and the Christian, and so likewise the heathen who has neither the law nor Gospel.

Jakob Bohme

In Christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness; a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service; a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.

Vincent Nichols

Age is just a number, maturity is a choice.

Harry Styles

Age-class running, as you know, is completely unreliable. It's based on this artificial thing, which is that people who are the same age have the same level of physical maturity. Which just isn't true.

Malcolm Gladwell

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Tom Stoppard

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

Tom Wilson

In any age courage is the simple virtue needed for a human being to traverse the rocky road from infancy to maturity of personality. But in an age of anxiety, an age of herd morality and personal isolation, courage is a sine qua non. In periods when the mores of the society were more consistent guides, the individual was more firmly cushioned in his crises of development; but in times of transition like ours, the individual is thrown on his own at an earlier age and for a longer period.

Rollo May
