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

Best Quotes about Children
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
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
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
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
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
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
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
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
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
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
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
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
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
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
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
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
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
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
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
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
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
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
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
