Motivational Quotes
Children
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Best Quotes about Children
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
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 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.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
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
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
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
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
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
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
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
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
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
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
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
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
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
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 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
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
