Maturity is the ability to harness your abilities and your energies and do more than is expected. The mature person refuses to settle for mediocrity. He/she would rather aim high and miss the mark than low-and make it.
Ann Landers

Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, I was wrong. And, when he/she is right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, I told you so.
Ann Landers
Image
The adult who is constantly changing friends and changing mates is immature. He/she cannot stick it out because he/she has not grown up.

Helen Rowland
Image
In Christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.
Vincent Nichols
Image
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Maturity gives us jealous eyes. We look with jealousy on the younger woman because she doesn't know as much now as we do, and, oh, what we could do with our wisdom and her face.
Virginia Graham
Image
How do you know that the fruit is ripe? Simply because it leaves the branch.
Andre Gide

My poetry doesn't change from place to place - it changes with the years. It's very important to be one's age. You get ideas you have to turn down - 'I'm sorry, no longer' 'I'm sorry, not yet.
W. H. Auden
Image
For the complete life, the perfect pattern includes old age as well as youth and maturity.
W. Somerset Maugham

Children who have proven themselves to be incorrigible by the age of twelve should be quickly and quietly beheaded, lest they grow to maturity, marry, and perpetuate the likeness of their being.
Ambrose Bierce

Rafael Nadal
Image
Almost all great writers have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation and the disillusioning knowledge of truth. 'Lost Illusion' is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
Image
Nature seems to delight in disappointing the assiduities of art, with which it would rear legitimate dulness to maturity and to glory in the vigour and luxuriance of her chance productions.
Washington Irving
Image
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
Alicia Keys
