Motivational Quotes
Children
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Best Quotes about Children
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
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
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
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
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
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph
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
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
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
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
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
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June
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
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
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
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
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
