Man is the result of slow growth; that is why he occupies the position he does in animal life. What does a pup amount to that has gained its growth in a few days or weeks, beside a man who only attains it in as many years.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
I always looked really young. I matured pretty late.
There are always late bloomers [in sport], no matter size, although big men are more often late bloomers.
Elves apparently had a short childhood. Not like witches, who seemed to take forever to grow up, according to Jenks.
Early genius, like early cabbage, does not head well.
I've always been what they call a late bloomer.
I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.
Men and women are different. I don't think men grow a brain until 26 or even 30. Girls mature a lot quicker.
I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
