Children

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



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

2.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

3.
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley

4.
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias

5.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

6.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

7.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

8.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

9.
Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.
Bradshaw, John

10.
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

11.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

12.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

13.
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

14.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

15.
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

16.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

17.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

18.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

19.
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

20.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.

21.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

22.
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

23.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

24.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

25.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

26.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

27.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

28.
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine

29.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

30.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

31.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

32.
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

33.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

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

35.
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

36.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

37.
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

38.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

39.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

40.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

41.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

42.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

43.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

44.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

45.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

46.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

47.
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen

48.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

49.
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

50.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
