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
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
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
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
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
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
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
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
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
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
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
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
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
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
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
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
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
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
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
