Immature people falling in love destroy each other's freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don't have the backbone, the spine; they don't have the integrity to stand alone.

A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love. ~ Osho
Mature Person quotes by Osho
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
Mature Person quotes by Ann Landers
What I want is to have people's notion of adulthood no longer be so defined by being a parent. There is some kind of conventional wisdom that you're not really a mature person until you become a parent. ~ Meghan Daum
Mature Person quotes by Meghan Daum
The mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies. ~ Laozi
Mature Person quotes by Laozi
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Mature Person quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
To be mature is, we're told, to move beyond possessiveness. Jealousy is for babies. The mature person knows that no one owns anyone. ~ Alain De Botton
Mature Person quotes by Alain De Botton
In the Peace Corps, the volunteer must be a fully developed, mature person. He must not join to run abroad or escape problems. ~ Sargent Shriver
Mature Person quotes by Sargent Shriver
Why honey, don't you want to get dressed?"
My mother took care never to tell me to do anything. She would only reason with me sweetly, like one intelligent, mature person with another.
It's almost three in the afternoon."
I'm writing a novel," I said. "I haven't got time to change into this and change into that. ~ Sylvia Plath
Mature Person quotes by Sylvia Plath
One who has come to this country as a mature person may have a keen eye for everything peculiar and characteristic. I believe he should speak out freely on what he sees and feels, for by so doing he may perhaps prove himself useful. ~ Albert Einstein
Mature Person quotes by Albert Einstein
It's in how you carry yourself. I've always been a very mature person, and I've always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what. ~ Aaliyah
Mature Person quotes by Aaliyah
When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fulfillness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ. ~ Pope John Paul II
Mature Person quotes by Pope John Paul II
I like to think I'm a very mature person. ~ Joel Courtney
Mature Person quotes by Joel Courtney
Rockefeller was sensitive about adults who behaved in a high-handed fashion toward him. Having assumed so much responsibility at home, he now thought of himself as a mature person. ~ Ron Chernow
Mature Person quotes by Ron Chernow
Do you want this marriage to work or not?' she said. 'My spreadsheet identified –' I interpreted Sonia's expression as I don't want to hear about your fucking spreadsheet. Do you, emotionally, as a whole mature person, want to live the rest of your life with Rosie and the Baby Under Development or are you going to let a computer make that decision for you, you pathetic geek? 'Work. But I don't think –' 'You think too much. Take her out to dinner and talk it over. ~ Graeme Simsion
Mature Person quotes by Graeme Simsion
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
Mature Person quotes by Ann Landers
A spiritually mature person is capable of admitting his mistakes and sins. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Mature Person quotes by Sunday Adelaja
The mature person becomes able to differentiate feelings into as many nuances, strong and passionate experiences, or delicate and sensitive ones, as in the different passages of music in a symphony. Unfortunately, many of us have feelings limited like notes in a bugle call. ~ Rollo May
Mature Person quotes by Rollo May
Childishness and childlikeness are two very different things. To know a childlike person, is to know a very mature person; to know a childish person, is to know a very immature person. To know childlikeness is to know original wisdom; to know childishness is to know original error. And there are many children more mature than adults, many adults less mature than children. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Mature Person quotes by C. JoyBell C.
A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don't have the backbone, the spine; they don't have the integrity to stand alone. ~ Rajneesh
Mature Person quotes by Rajneesh
A mature person has the integrity to be alone. And when a mature person gives love, he gives without any strings attached to it: he simply gives. And when a mature person gives love, he feels grateful that you have accepted his love, not vice versa. He does not expect you to be thankful for it – no, not at all, he does not even need your thanks. He thanks you for accepting his love.

And when two mature persons are in love, one of the greatest paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone, they are together so much so that they are almost one. But their oneness does not destroy their individuality; in fact, it enhances it: they become more individual. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. How can you dominate the person you love? Just think over it.

Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity. How can you even think of dominating a person you love? You would love to see the person totally free, independent; you will give him more individuality. That's why I call it the greatest paradox: they are together so much so that they are almost one, but still in that oneness they are individuals. Their individualities are not effaced; they have become more enhanced. The other has enriched them as far as their freedom is concerned.

Immature people falling in love destroy each other's freedom, creat ~ Osho
Mature Person quotes by Osho
Self-control is one mark of a mature person; it applies to control of language, physical treatment of others, and the appetites of the body. ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Mature Person quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
(The mature person) pours himself out in service to others. ~ Laozi
Mature Person quotes by Laozi
Maturity is not equated with independence though it includes a certain capacity for independence ... The independence of the mature person is simply that he does not collapse when he has to stand alone. It is not an independence of needs for other persons with whom to have relationship: that would not be desired by the mature. ~ Nancy Chodorow
Mature Person quotes by Nancy Chodorow
How would you describe a mature person? ~ N. T. Wright
Mature Person quotes by N. T. Wright
Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person. ~ Brian Tracy
Mature Person quotes by Brian Tracy
We have all seen examples of God's most wonderful creature, the person, who is inspired to go beyond the mechanical requirements of a task. Such men and women, paid or unpaid, express the spirit of the volunteer - literally the will to make a product better, a school the very best, a clinic more compassionate and effective. Their spirit, generating new ideas, resisting discouragement, and demanding results, animates the heart of every effective society."

- His Highness the Aga Khan, Enabling Environment Conference, Nairobi, October 20, 1986. ~ Aga Khan
Mature Person quotes by Aga Khan
Other extremely alluring traits in people are simplicity and naturalness. Simplicity and naturalness are never painfully obvious qualities, and yet which I come across them in a person, I get this sense of a firm foundation and of a direct access to truth. ~ Wojciech Kurtyka
Mature Person quotes by Wojciech Kurtyka
Instead of trying to educate the human race, they should imitate the pedagogues of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, who concentrated their efforts on the education of a single person. ~ Georg Brandes
Mature Person quotes by Georg Brandes
Everyone - all of us, every last person on God's earth - deserves decent shelter. It speaks to the most basic of human needs - our home - the soil from which all of us, every last person, either blossom or wither. We each have need of food, clothing, education, medical care, and companionship; but first, we must have a place to live and grow. ~ Millard Fuller
Mature Person quotes by Millard Fuller
Hahaha! You fools really thought you were gonna walk in here and I would show myself like that. No, you're mistaken. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. You have a long road until you get to me and like I said, Mr. Angel, I'm the last person you'll want to see! In fact, if you're playing attention, you have met me already! However, I'll leave it to my minions to take care of all of you! - Evil One from Revenge of the Gloobas ~ Angel Ramon Medina
Mature Person quotes by Angel Ramon Medina
How blissful it is, for one who has nothing. Attainers-of-wisdom are people with nothing. See him suffering, one who has something, a person bound in mind with people. ~ Gautama Buddha
Mature Person quotes by Gautama Buddha
Cannibal, there are outside people which have already eaten a person and have described the taste incrediable... But few of them are in jail!? ~ Deyth Banger
Mature Person quotes by Deyth Banger
One thing I've learned, my friend, is every person you meet has different needs, and when we wish to be a valuable part of the person's life, we must learn them." His mouth quirked in a wry grin. "I suppose that's the trick, isn't it? Caring for a person in the way they require, even when it's not how we'd wish to. from Miss Whitaker Opens Her Heart ~ Jennifer Moore
Mature Person quotes by Jennifer Moore
I used to wonder why people should be so fond of the company of their physician, till I recollected that he is the only person with whom one dares to talk continually of oneself, without interruption, contradiction or censure; I suppose that delightful immunity doubles their fees. ~ Hannah More
Mature Person quotes by Hannah More
Teach the ignorant as much as you possibly can: society is culpable for not giving instruction gratis, and is responsible for the night it produces. This soul s full of darkness, and sin is committed, but the guilt person is not the man who commits the sin, but he who produces the darkness. ~ Victor Hugo
Mature Person quotes by Victor Hugo
...the incarnation is the complete refutation of every human system and institution that claims to control, possess, and distribute God. Whatever any church or religious leader may claim in regard to their particular access to God or control over your experience of God, the incarnation is the last word: God loves the world. God came into the world in the form of the people he created, the human race (including you and me), who bear his image. God's creation of humanity in his image gives hints of who he is, since we all are marked by his fingerprints.

But as flawed humans, we give only a vague hint of God. Our broken reflection of God's image is easily drowned out by our broken humanity. then, two thousand years ago, God came in his fullness. He came to all of us in Jesus. The incarnation is not owned, trademarked, or controlled by any church. It belongs to every human being. The incarnation is not something that requires a distributor or middleman. It is a gracious gift to every person everywhere, religious or not. God gave himself to us in Jesus. ~ Michael Spencer
Mature Person quotes by Michael Spencer
My twin, Go. I've said this phrase so many times, it has become a reassuring mantra instead of actual words: Mytwingo. We were born in the '70s, back when twins were rare, a bit magical: cousins of the unicorn, siblings of the elves. We even have a dash of twin telepathy. Go is truly the one person in the entire world I am totally myself with. I don't feel the need to explain my actions to her. I don't clarify, I don't doubt, I don't worry. I don't tell her everything, not anymore, but I tell her more than anyone else, by far. I tell her as much as I can. We spent nine months back to back, covering each other. It became a lifelong habit. It never mattered to me that she was a girl, strange for a deeply self-conscious kid. What can I say? She was always just cool. ~ Gillian Flynn
Mature Person quotes by Gillian Flynn
It is the part of an uneducated person to blame others where he himself fares ill; to blame himself is the part of one whose education has begun; to blame neither another nor his own self is the part of one whose education is already complete. ~ Epictetus
Mature Person quotes by Epictetus
God does communicate with those who are willing to obey Him. He penetrates the dark silence with free, life-giving discoveries in nature, the human conscience, Scripture, and the Person of Jesus Christ. ~ Billy Graham
Mature Person quotes by Billy Graham
IF YOU FIND YOUR LIFE tangled up with somebody else's life for no very logical reasons," writes Bokonon, "that person may be a member of your karass." At ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Mature Person quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
I'm a morning person, so rising at 4-something on weekends is not a huge challenge for me. I am not, however, much of a morning eater - not at that hour, at least. ~ Lester Holt
Mature Person quotes by Lester Holt
Cuticle care can tell you a lot about a person. ~ Rick Yancey
Mature Person quotes by Rick Yancey
If you grow yourself to become a successful person, in strength of character and mind, you will naturally be successful in anything and everything you do. ~ T. Harv Eker
Mature Person quotes by T. Harv Eker
If you betray me, can I take a better revenge than to love the person you hate? ~ Pierre Corneille
Mature Person quotes by Pierre Corneille
All of us ... when we think we are talking most intimately to someone else, are actually addressing an image we have of the person to whom we believe we speak. ~ Gene Wolfe
Mature Person quotes by Gene Wolfe
My dear fellow, what does it matter to me? Supposing I unravel the whole matter, you may be sure that Gregson, Lestrade, and Co. will pocket all the credit. That comes of being an unofficial personage." "But he begs you to help him." "Yes. He knows that I am his superior, and acknowledges it to me; but he would cut his tongue out before he would own it to any third person. However, ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Mature Person quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The mistake every lonely person makes is to confuse attention with love. ~ Marty Rubin
Mature Person quotes by Marty Rubin
If you want to understand a difficult or trying person, begin by asking the question: 'What is the wound they are trying to heal?' ~ Mardy Grothe
Mature Person quotes by Mardy Grothe
If a person is open to a new world view, it can often mean that he is not firmly rooted in the reality of the old world view; as a lunatic or alienated artist, his own neurotic traits can become magnified as they tremble with the new energy pouring in from the universal source. ~ William Irwin Thompson
Mature Person quotes by William Irwin Thompson
It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see 'the positive person' or 'the negative person' in such a black and white way as many people do. A wise man may not understand it because, as a catalyst of wisdom, but not always wise in his own eyes, even he can learn from and give back to fools. To think that an individual has absolutely nothing to offer to the table is counter-intuitively what the wise man considers to be 'the ignorance of hopelessness'. ~ Criss Jami
Mature Person quotes by Criss Jami
As a gay person, my life has been marginalized. ~ Ira Sachs
Mature Person quotes by Ira Sachs
I landed in the living room of the cabin with the gracefulness of a drunken person, stumbling and banging my knee on the corner of the coffee table. I don't know what it was - if the falling threw off my equilibrium or something - but I just couldn't land normally when traveling by a crystal, or by teleporting, or when walking on ice. Oh, fine. Maybe it was just me. ~ Jessica Sorensen
Mature Person quotes by Jessica Sorensen
If you are the smartest person in a room, you are in the wrong room. ~ T.D. Jakes
Mature Person quotes by T.D. Jakes
I stared at him. At this too-thin, too-sincere boy. This person.
Because I knew what he meant. I understood exactly. And I'd felt it too, that interior certainty. But over the years, I'd let all the fervour fade. I'd stopped believing in it, somehow. I'd let it become something I did, not something I was. ~ Alexis Hall
Mature Person quotes by Alexis Hall
Deep within every modern American female, whether she will admit it or not, lingers the image of an ideal man. It isn't necessarily photo quality, it rarely involves specific physical characteristics. No, this image is more like the promise of a feeling, a swept-off-your-feet, powerless-to-control-it, how-awesome-is-this-guy sentiment that she hopes someone special will someday inspire. Left to its own devices, the brain will keep this feeling dormant until truly warranted by a real-life flesh-and-blood person. ~ Libby Street
Mature Person quotes by Libby Street
Only through awareness can you see the totality of the situation or person instead of adopting one limited perspective. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Mature Person quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Responding to bereavement by trying to make a difference is certainly both understandable and admirable, but it doesn't give you good reason to raise money for one specific cause of death rather than any other. If that person had died in different circumstances it would have been no less tragic. What we care about when we lose someone close to us is that they suffered or died, not that they died from a specific cause. By all means, the sadness we feel at the loss of a loved one should be harnessed in order to make the world a better place. But we should focus that motivation on preventing death and improving lives per se, rather than preventing death and improving lives in one very specific way. Any other decision would be unfair on those we could have helped more. ~ William MacAskill
Mature Person quotes by William MacAskill
A good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more's the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for. ~ Herman Melville
Mature Person quotes by Herman Melville
One could think of a person who seems to have two opposing and contradictory sides to his personality; but it turns out that in the end the two sides are complementary. The same happens with an artist's work: deep down, what appear as contradictory sides are merely different registers, different aspects of the reality that the artist inhabits ~ Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Mature Person quotes by Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Some churches make intercessory prayer part of their weekly schedule. If that's not the case at your church, find another person in the faith to intercede with or go before God on your own. ~ Monica Johnson
Mature Person quotes by Monica Johnson
I draw from my family and my friends and I feel like that small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic possessions have really become to mean less. They mean nothing. ~ Sheryl Crow
