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
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to.

Landers, Ann
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.

Humphrey, Hubert H.
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.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
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.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles
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
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
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
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
