Helen Hayes Quotes on Growth

5 quotes

  1. Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up. That he has to leave the nest, the security, and go out to do battle. He has to lose everything that is lovely and fight for a new loveliness of his own making, and it's a tragedy. A lot of people don't have the courage to do it.

  2. If you rest, you rust.

  3. Childhood is a short season.

  4. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it did alright by me.

  5. My career from earliest childhood was like a bright shiny bucket in a bucket line - I was passed along from hand to hand with everyone helping.
