Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

3.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

4.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

5.
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

6.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

7.
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

8.
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

9.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

10.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

11.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

12.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

13.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

18.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

19.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

20.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

21.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

22.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

23.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

24.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

25.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

26.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

27.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

28.
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

29.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

30.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

31.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

32.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

33.
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard

34.
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

35.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

36.
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

37.
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

38.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

39.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

40.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

41.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

42.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

43.
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

44.
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

45.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

46.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.

47.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

48.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

49.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

50.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
