Children

The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
- King Edward VIII
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

2.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

3.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

4.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

5.
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

6.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

7.
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

8.
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred

9.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

16.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

18.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

19.
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

20.
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

21.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

22.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

23.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

24.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

25.
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

26.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

27.
Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.
Bradshaw, John

28.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

29.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

30.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

31.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

32.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

33.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

34.
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

35.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

39.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

40.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

41.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

46.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

47.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

48.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

49.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

50.
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
