Motivational Quotes
Children
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

Best Quotes about Children
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
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
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
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
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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 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
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
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
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.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
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
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
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
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
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
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
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 suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
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
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
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
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
