Children

As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
- Adams, John
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred

2.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

3.
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice

4.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

5.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

6.
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben

7.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

8.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

9.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

10.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

11.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

12.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

13.
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

15.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

16.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

17.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

18.
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

19.
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George

20.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

21.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

22.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston

23.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

24.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

25.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

26.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen

27.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

28.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil

29.
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

30.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

31.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

32.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois

33.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

34.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

35.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

36.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John

37.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

38.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

39.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

40.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

41.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther

42.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

43.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

45.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

46.
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June

47.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

48.
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June

49.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

50.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
