Motivational Quotes
Children
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.
Best Quotes about Children
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
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
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
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.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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
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
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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
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
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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.
Burbank, Luther
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy
