Part of adulthood is searching for the people who understand you.
Growing old is compulsory - growing up is optional.
Most people don't grow up. It's too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That's the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don't grow up.
I hate that everyone calls it growing up, but it seems like DYING.
The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.
Note that venerable proverb: Children and fools always speak the truth. The deduction is plain: adults and wise persons never speak it.
Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.
When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating. When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved.
I didn't go to uni and although I don't have regrets in my life, I have two nephews and I'd encourage them to go to uni as I don't think you need to grow up too quick.
Growing up means leaving home and becoming a self supporting adult. I think this the hardest task any human being hast to face.
Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up.
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
How many really capable men are children more than once during the day!
You’re not an adult at all - you're just a tall child holding a beer, having conversations you don't understand...
You need to act your age and not your girl's age
I'm a grown man. I have six kids. I'm married now. So I speak my mind.
New York grabbed me too hard, as did adulthood.
As you get older, you have more responsibilities; you have more commitments, more events, kids, you're married now. You still have all the things that you've had, plus you just keep adding.
A man's real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life.
Young people are still looking and older people have found.
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
I myself started out quite young; when you're working, professionally, even if you are in your teens, you just want to be treated the same as everybody else. You just want people to see you as an actor and not as a kid.
Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "déjà vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult.
It takes a Real man to fill my shoes.
I'm definitely not eager to grow up, but I do like some adult stuff.
