What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.

Shan, Eda J. Le
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
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
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
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
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
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.

Angelou, Maya
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.
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.

Menninger, Karl A.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
