Best Quotes about Children
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
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
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
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
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
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
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
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
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
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
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
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
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther
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
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
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
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
