Best Quotes about Children
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
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
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
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
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
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
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
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore
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
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
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
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
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.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
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
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
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
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
