Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold

2.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar

6.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

7.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

8.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

9.
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

10.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

11.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

12.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

13.
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

14.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

18.
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

19.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

20.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

21.
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

22.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

23.
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

24.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

25.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

26.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

30.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

31.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

32.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

33.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

34.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

35.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

36.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

37.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

38.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

39.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

40.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

41.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

42.
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

43.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

44.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

45.
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

46.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

47.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
