Anatole Broyard

5.
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph

6.
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

Landers, Ann

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

13.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

14.
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

15.
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

16.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

Hare, David

24.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

28.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

29.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

30.
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

31.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

32.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

33.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

34.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

35.
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

36.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

37.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

38.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

39.

Robert Byrne

40.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

48.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

49.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

Proverb, English
