Motivational Quotes
Children
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Best Quotes about Children
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
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
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix
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
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
