Motivational Quotes
Children
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.
Best Quotes about Children
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
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
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
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
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
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
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
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
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
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
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
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
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
