Best Quotes about Children
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
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
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben
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
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
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
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.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
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
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
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
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
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
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
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
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
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
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
