Motivational Quotes
Children
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Best Quotes about Children
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
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
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
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
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
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
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
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
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.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
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 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
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
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
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
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
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.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
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
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
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
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
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
