Children

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

3.
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.

4.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

5.
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia

6.
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

7.
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

8.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

9.
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

10.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

11.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

12.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

13.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

14.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John

15.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

16.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

17.
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

18.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

19.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

20.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

21.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

22.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

23.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

24.
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

25.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

26.
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John

27.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

28.
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

29.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

30.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

31.
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

32.
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb

33.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

34.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

35.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible

36.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

37.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

38.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

39.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

40.
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

41.
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

42.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

43.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

44.
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

45.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

46.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

47.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible

48.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

49.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

50.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
