Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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.

2.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

3.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

4.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
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

8.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

9.
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward

10.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

11.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

12.
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

13.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

14.
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

15.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

16.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

17.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

18.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

19.
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

20.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

21.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

22.
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

23.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

24.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

25.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

26.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

27.
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

28.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

29.
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

30.
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

31.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

32.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

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

34.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

35.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

36.
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

37.
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

38.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

39.
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip

40.
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

41.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

42.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

43.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

44.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

45.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

46.
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.

47.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

48.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

49.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

50.
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
