We should strive to welcome change and challenges, because they are what help us grow. With out them we grow weak like the Eloi in comfort and security. We need to constantly be challenging ourselves in order to strengthen our character and increase our intelligence.

H.G. Wells
About This Quote

As we grow older, the world gets older. The more we get older, the more old we feel. This sense of getting older is a natural consequence of growing up. But if we embrace the fact that we get older, we can use it to make us stronger and live with more courage and integrity.
