Wise men never grow up; indeed, they grow younger, for they lose the appalling worldly wisdom of youth.

What shelter to grow ripe is ours?
What leisure to grow wise?Matthew Arnold
As I slowly grow wise I briskly grow cautious.
Mark Twain
As I slowly grow wise I briskly grow cautious.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
He who hopes to grow in spirit
will have to transcend obedience and respect.
He'll hold to some laws
but he'll mostly violate
both law and custom, and go beyond
the established, inadequate norm.
Sensual pleasures will have much to teach him.
He won't be afraid of the destructive act:
half the house will have to come down.
This way he'll grow virtuously into wisdom.Constantine P. Cavafy
“You have to grow all the time,” I said. “Not necessarily get bigger. But inside your head you have to grow, kid-boy. For us human-type people, that’s what’s important. And that kind of growing never stops. At least, it shouldn’t. You can grow, kid-boy, or you can die. That’s the choice you've got, and it goes on all of your life.”
Samuel R. Delany
