Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

2.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

3.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

4.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

5.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman

6.
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

7.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

8.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

9.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

10.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

11.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

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

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

14.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

15.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

16.
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

17.
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore

18.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

19.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

20.
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene

21.
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

22.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

26.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

27.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

28.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

29.
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

30.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

31.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

32.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.

33.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

34.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

35.
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

36.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

37.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

38.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

39.
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

40.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.

41.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

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