Best Quotes about Children
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
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
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
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
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
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix
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
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
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
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
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
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
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, 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
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
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
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
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
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
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
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
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John
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
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
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.
