Best Quotes and speeches on Maturity

― Pablo Picasso - Do men grow up or do they only come of age?
― Stephen King - Every human choice, even though, it is free, is always a risk, and anybody who has not got the courage to take such risks in life and to face up to its consequences consistently and faithfully cannot be said to be really matured to take on any important commitment.
― Udoka Egwuagu - Good to know we’re all twelve years old mentally. Keeps things in perspective.
― Alexander William Gaskarth - How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.
― Barry Lopez - I can take care of myself, but I can’t take care of myself and a child. I’ve decided to give myself up for adoption.
― Jarod Kintz - If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams about what life should be, then maturity is letting go again.
― Mary Beth Danielson - If age were a word that meant maturity, then every single woman I’ve dated has been at least twice my age.
― Jarod Kintz - I’m not ready to let the youthful part of myself go yet. If maturity means becoming a cynic, if you have to kill the part of yourself that is naive and romantic and idealistic – the part of you that you treasure most – to claim maturity, is it not better to die young but with your humanity intact?

Mature love follows the principle: I am loved because I love.

Mature love says: I need you because I love you.

It demands the mental discipline to drive oneself beyond the normal limits of achievement so that building oneself becomes the only thing that matters.
― Anonymous - Maturity means dependability, integrity and keeping one’s word.
― Anonymous - Maturity is also the capacity to face unpleasantness and disappointment without becoming bitter.
― Anonymous - Maturity is humility; a mature person is able to say I was wrong and when he is proved right he does not have to say I told you.
