Children

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



Best Quotes about Children

1.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

2.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

3.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

4.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

5.
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

6.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

7.
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.

8.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

9.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

10.
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

11.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

12.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible

17.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

18.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

19.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

20.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

21.
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

22.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

23.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

24.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

25.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

29.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

30.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

31.
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

32.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

33.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

34.
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

35.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

36.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

37.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

38.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

39.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

40.
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice

41.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

42.
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

43.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

44.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

45.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

46.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

50.
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
