Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

2.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

3.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

4.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

5.
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

6.
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

7.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

8.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

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.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

11.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

12.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

13.
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

14.
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

15.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

16.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

17.
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

18.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

19.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman

20.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

21.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

22.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

23.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

24.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

25.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

26.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

27.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

28.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

29.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

30.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

31.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

32.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

33.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

34.
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

35.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

36.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

37.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

38.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

39.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

40.
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

41.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

42.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

43.
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

44.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

45.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

46.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

47.
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

48.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

49.
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

50.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
