Material things will grow old. This stage will grow old and stop. This hall will grow old and stop. This house we live in will grow old and stop. This flesh and blood house we live in will grow old and stop. This lecture even will grow old--and stop! But you and I will never grow old, for God cannot grow old. You and I will go on living as long as God lives.英文原著 · 《The University of Hard Knocks》
We have it in our hands to decide our destiny as we grow or refuse to grow. We shake down if we become small; we shake up if we become great. And when we have reached the place our size determines, we stay there so long as we stay that size. If we wish to change our place, we must first change our size. If we wish to go down, we must grow smaller and we shall shake down. If we wish to go up, we must grow greater, and we shall shake up. Each person is doing one of three things consciously or unconsciously. He is holding his place.英文原著 · 《The University of Hard Knocks》

[10] Breathe but one breath Rose-beauty above, And all that was death Grows life, grows love, Grows love!英文原著 · 《Introduction to Robert Browning》

I wish I was more grown up, cousin Eloise," she added apologetically. "Oh no, no," answered the girl, with a little catch in her throat. "I've had so much of grown-up people, Jewel! I'm so grown up myself!英文原著 · 《Jewel》

The "Hero's Mighty Childhood" (like David's) of course occurs when he binds a bear with his girdle. Sciold is full grown at fifteen, and Hadding is full grown in extreme youth.
