Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
- Oscar Wilde
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

2.
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

3.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

4.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

5.
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

6.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

11.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

16.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

17.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

18.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

19.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John

20.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

21.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

22.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

23.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

24.
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

25.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

26.
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

27.
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

28.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

29.
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

30.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

31.
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

32.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

33.
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

34.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

35.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

36.
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy

37.
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

38.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

39.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

40.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

41.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

42.
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

43.
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

44.
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia

45.
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

46.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

47.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

48.
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

49.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

50.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
