Children

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



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

2.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

3.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

4.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

5.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

6.
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

7.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

8.
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

9.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

10.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

11.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

12.
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

13.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

14.
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.

15.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

19.
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

20.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

21.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

22.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

23.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

24.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

25.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

26.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen

27.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

28.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

29.
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George

30.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

31.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

32.
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

33.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

34.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

35.
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

36.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

37.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

42.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

43.
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

44.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

45.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

46.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

47.
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

48.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

49.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

50.
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
