Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

2.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

3.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

4.
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

5.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

6.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

7.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

8.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

9.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

10.
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

11.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

12.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

13.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

14.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

15.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

16.
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

17.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

18.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

19.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

20.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

21.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

22.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

23.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

24.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

25.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

26.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

27.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

28.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

29.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

30.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

31.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

32.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

33.
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

34.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

35.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

36.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

37.
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

38.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

39.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

44.
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.

45.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

46.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

47.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

48.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

49.
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

50.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
