Best Quotes about Children
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
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
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
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
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
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
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
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 enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
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.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
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.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
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
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
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
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
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
