Motivational Quotes
Children
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.

Best Quotes about Children
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
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
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
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
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.
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
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred
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
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette
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
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
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
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.
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
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
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
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
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
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
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
