“All resistance bears within it the seeds of growth, experience, and wisdom.”

“Scepticism, like wisdom, springs out in full panoply only from the brain of a god, and it is little profit to see an idea in its growth, unless we track its seed to the power which sowed it.”

“The empowered mind allows problems to seed personal growth.”

“The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.”

“Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. resistance is the enemy within.”

“If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.”

“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.”

“Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.”

“Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.”

“The growth of new ideas is more difficult and lengthy the deeper they are rotted in life. Resistance to them is the more obsitnate and exasperated the more persistent their growth is.”
