Children

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.
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

3.
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

4.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

5.
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.

6.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

7.
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

8.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

9.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

10.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

11.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

12.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

16.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

17.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

18.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

19.
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

20.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

21.
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

22.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

23.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

24.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

25.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

26.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

27.
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

28.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

29.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

30.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

31.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

32.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

39.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

40.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

41.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

45.
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

46.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

47.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

48.
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

49.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

50.
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
