Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

2.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

3.
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

4.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

5.
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

6.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

7.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

8.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

9.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

10.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

11.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

12.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

13.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

14.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

21.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

25.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

26.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

27.
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge

28.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

29.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

30.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

31.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

32.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

33.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

34.
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

35.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

36.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

37.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

38.
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.

39.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

40.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

41.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

42.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

43.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton

44.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

45.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

46.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

47.
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

48.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

49.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

50.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
