Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

2.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

3.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

4.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

5.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

6.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

7.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

8.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

9.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

10.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

11.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

12.
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

13.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

14.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

15.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
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

17.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

23.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

24.
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

25.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

26.
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

27.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

28.
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June

29.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

30.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

31.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

32.
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

33.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

34.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

35.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

36.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

37.
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

38.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

39.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

40.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

41.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton

42.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

43.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

44.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

45.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

46.
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

47.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

48.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

49.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

50.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
