Quotations for expansion

The mother's love is at first an absorbing delight, blunting all other sensibilities; it is an expansion of the animal existence. [ George Eliot ]

The production of something, where nothing was before, is an act of greater energy than the expansion or decoration of the thing produced. [ Johnson ]

It is in the relaxation of security, it is in the expansion of prosperity, it is in the hour of dilation of the heart, and of its softening into festivity and pleasure that the real character of men is discerned. [ Burke ]

The growth of the intellect is spontaneous in every expansion. The mind that grows could not predict the times, the means, the mode of that spontaneity. God enters by a private door into every individual. Long prior to reflection is the thinking of the mind. [ Emerson ]
