That was Proust. Granted, it’s better in the original French: “Vivre, Rire, Aimer.”
Raleigh wrote “Even broken crayons still color.”
L. Bert Hubbard, founder of Sciencenetics?
Obviously not Shakespeare, but I’m interested in this use of “grow” to describe an adult’s spiritual/emotional/psychic development. Is this usage dating from mid-to-late 20th century?
Elbert Hubbard was a Hoosier cartoonist known for his homespun sentiments. If it’s not his, it’s a good fit anyway.
“When the wind is southerly…”
I hope this has straightened everything out for the OP, who, most mysteriously, has not returned.

Christian Sciencenetics, founded by Mary Bert Eddy.
I blame James T. Kirk. Starfleet’s Temporal Investigations division considered him to be a menace, after all!
Are there two people named Michael Gaydos or just one? I did some searching on the name. There is one who is described as an evangelist and one who is described as a comic book artist:
I never heard of him before I found the quote.
Your link shows the evangelist died in 2005. The comic artist appears to still be working. So they are probably two different people.
Can’t he be both, like the late Earl Warren?
“Don’t worry; be happy.”
- Wm. Shakespeare - “The Merry Wives of Windsor”
That’s why I asked. Michael Gaydos strikes me as an uncommon enough name that it would be surprising if there were two of them. It’s certainly possible that someone could do both and hide the fact from their fans of each of those jobs that they also had the other job. I couldn’t find anything that indicated whether the comic book artist was still alive.

I wonder if anyone has tried to calculate what percent of quotations on the internet, outside of mainstream media and peer-reviewed articles, are accurate. I suspect it is low.
When people have, on rare occasions, on a forum like this, put my words in quotation marks, it often as not was mistaken, and that could be easily searched.
I’m finishing up a biography of Benjamin Disraeli, and the most common quotations attributed to him, seem unproven at best. For example, he is claimed, on whisper down the lane evidence, to have told Victoria that his religion was the blank page between the old and the new testament. He was a witty guy, but not that way.

What magic do you need to invoke to post images? I don’t even remember that being possible, and the easiest way I tried appeared to work but then said I couldn’t do that.
So for your amusement, consider that my image has a picture of Abraham Lincoln, has the saying “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” and is attributed to Oscar Wilde. If you can find that image anywhere on the internet, they stole it from me.
Just paste the URL of the image onto a blank line. For example, if I were to paste the URL “https://i.gifer.com/Akbi.gif” onto a blank line, the result would be this gif of WWE Superstar™ Sheamus performing an amusing dance;
Ah, so the site isn’t willing to host any images. Well, my image is on my hard drive, so I guess it’s not getting shown, because I don’t want to bother with putting it on the internet somewhere else first.
