Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

3.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

4.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

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.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

7.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

8.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

9.
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

10.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

11.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

12.
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

13.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

14.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

15.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

16.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

17.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

18.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

19.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

20.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

21.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

22.
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

23.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

28.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

29.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

30.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

31.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

32.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

33.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

34.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

35.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

39.
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

40.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

41.
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

42.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

43.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

44.
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

45.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

46.
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.

47.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

48.
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

49.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

50.
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
