Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John

2.
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

3.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

4.
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

5.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

6.
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

7.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

8.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

9.
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

10.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

11.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

12.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

13.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

14.
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben

15.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

16.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

17.
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill

18.
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

19.
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

20.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

21.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

22.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

23.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

24.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

25.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

26.
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

27.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

28.
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

29.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

30.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

31.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

32.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

33.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

34.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

35.
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

36.
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

37.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

38.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

39.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

40.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

41.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

42.
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.

43.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

44.
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

45.
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

46.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

47.
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

48.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

49.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

50.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
