Motivational Quotes
Children
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Best Quotes about Children
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
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph
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
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
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
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
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
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
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
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
