Best Quotes about Children
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
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
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
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
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
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
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
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
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
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
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
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
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
