Japan is a model already to the lie that economic growth is the key to our future. If they can really show an alternative to nukes and fossil fuels, then they will be the poster boy for the renewable energy for the future. – David Suzuki
Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius. – George Edward Woodberry
I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don’t know it’s happening. – Mariel Hemingway
No one wants growth, constant expansion, physical swelling. Growth is not a human value; it’s a means to the ends of sufficiency and security. Once we have enough, no one wants more, unless it is sold to us as a cheap substitute for something else, something non-material. – Donella Meadows
Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember. – Ginni Rometty

We have a lack of growth in Europe, in eurozone, and in France, and we are struggling hard to recover and restore this growth. – Emmanuel Macron
Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed. – George Henry Lewes
Smart development builds on a region’s own skills, resources and local businesses. Dumb growth invites a big corporation in, surrenders control and profits to a distant headquarters, undercuts local manufacturers, and risks layoffs without warning. – Donella Meadows
We form cities in order to enhance interaction, to facilitate growth, wealth creation, ideas, innovation, but in so doing, we create, from a physicist’s viewpoint, entropy. – Geoffrey West
One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure. – Erwin McManus

We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people’s happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people’s lives has been severed. – Park Geun-hye
I agree that the two-party system stomps on any kind of competition. A great first step is to open the presidential debates to all qualified candidates, including the Libertarians. If that happens, the Libertarian party will experience unprecedented growth. – Gary Johnson

Our ability to create jobs, our future growth, is built on the free market. It’s built on open borders. – Mark Rutte
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots. – Frank A. Clark
After a major loss of dynamism in the 1960s, productivity growth rates began dropping in most countries, falling by half in the U.S. in the 1970s and more or less ceasing altogether in France, Germany and Britain in the late 1990s. – Edmund Phelps
Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain. – Diane Arbus
That’s the dirty little secret of Mormon growth. Lots of baptisms don’t necessarily translate into long-term membership. – David Campbell
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die. – Plato
We use American influence with Israel not to promote economic growth in the West Bank, but to try and impede Jewish – never Arab – construction in the capital city. – Elliott Abrams
