Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

2.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

3.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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.

8.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

9.
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

10.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

11.
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

12.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

13.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

14.
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix

15.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

16.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

17.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

18.
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar

19.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

20.
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

21.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

22.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

23.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

24.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

25.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

26.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

27.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

28.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

32.
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

33.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

34.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

35.
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

36.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

37.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

38.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

39.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

40.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

41.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

42.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

43.
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

44.
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

45.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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.
