Growth is a painful process.

I always knew that 'Growing Pains' was not going to go on forever. I remember thinking, 'I'm going to enjoy every moment of this.'

We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.

I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.

Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.

Some growths can be detected early, making for increased accuracy in diagnosis. Some can be cured and others controlled.

I guess the headline is that you mustn't tough it out assuming it's 'normal' to feel incredible pain when you're preggo or post-partum, or be afraid to try a new specialist or a new kind of specialist if you have pain that isn't getting any better.

Men grow to the stature to which they are stretched when they are young.
