"One grows up by love, not by strength"
(it is about human and spirituality)

Hello, my dear Latin translator!

You know, I would change the verb here. It is not quite wrong, but I believe that more suitable would be here: adolescitur

What do you think about it?

Aneta, maybe my bridge wasn't that accurate, I'm sorry. This verb "élever" is here to be understood talking about one's spiritual dimension, but I couldn't find a verb in my old dictionary that would match the meaning, I had a look to verb "to rise", "to raise", none of these two verbs showed enough indications for me to chose it, so that I used "growing up", as it is about maturity, becoming a grown-up (including the spiritual dimension). So maybe goncin's use of verb "extollo" would match the meaning here. But I'm neither an English native speaker, nor a specialist in Latin...

Thank you, Francky, for taking care of this translation!!

"extollere" means "to lift sth/sb up", "to buid", but also "to praise", "to encourage" etc

My proposition was "adulescere" what means:
not only "to grow up", but also "to mature", "to rise", "to become bigger/more powerful", "to get power"...

Anyway, I still claim "my verb" suits here better...

But, of course, I can be wrong..

Francky, could you tell me which of the verbs, in your opinion, is better, just considering my explanations above?

Goncin, could you take a stand on the issue. Look at my post above, please.

I think "adolescitur" fits. Editing...
