Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

2.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

3.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

4.
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

5.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

6.
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

7.
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

8.
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.

9.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

10.
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill

11.
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

12.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

13.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

14.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

15.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian

16.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

21.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

22.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

23.
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

24.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

25.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

27.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

28.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

29.
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

30.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

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

32.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

33.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

38.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

39.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

40.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

41.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

42.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

43.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

44.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

45.
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

46.
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

47.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

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

50.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
