Motivational Quotes
Children
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.

Best Quotes about Children
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
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
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
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.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John
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
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
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
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
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
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
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
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
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
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
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
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore
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
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
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
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
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
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
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
