There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

4.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

5.
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

6.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

7.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

11.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

19.
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

20.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham

21.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

25.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

26.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

27.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

28.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

29.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

30.
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy

31.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

32.
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley

33.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

34.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

35.
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

36.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

37.
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred

38.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

39.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

40.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

41.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

42.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

43.
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le

44.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

45.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

46.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

47.
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

48.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

49.
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

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