Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
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

4.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

5.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

6.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil

7.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

8.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

12.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

13.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

14.
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.

15.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

16.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

17.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

18.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

19.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

20.
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

21.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

22.
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

23.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

24.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

25.
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard

26.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

27.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

28.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

29.
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

30.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

31.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

32.
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

33.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

34.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

35.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

36.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

37.
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

38.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

39.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

40.
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

41.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

42.
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

43.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

44.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

45.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

46.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

47.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

48.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

49.
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

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
