Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

2.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

3.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

4.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

5.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

6.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

7.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

8.
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

9.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

10.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

11.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

12.
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne

13.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

14.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

15.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

16.
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

17.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

18.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

19.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham

20.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

21.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

23.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

24.
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

25.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

26.
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

27.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

28.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

29.
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

30.
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.

31.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

32.
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

33.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

34.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

35.
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.

36.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

37.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

38.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

39.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

40.
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip

41.
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.

42.
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

43.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

44.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

45.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

46.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

47.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

48.
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

49.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

50.
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
