Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

2.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

3.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

4.
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

5.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

6.
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

7.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

8.
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

9.
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

10.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

11.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

12.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

13.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

14.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

15.
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

16.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

17.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

18.
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

19.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

20.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

21.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

22.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

23.
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

24.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

25.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

26.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John

27.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

28.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

29.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

30.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

31.
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

32.
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

33.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

34.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

35.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

36.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

37.
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

38.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

39.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

40.
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.

41.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

42.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

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.
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

45.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

46.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

47.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

48.
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

49.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
