Motivational Quotes

Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

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

5.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

6.
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

7.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

8.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

9.
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

10.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

11.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

12.
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

13.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

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 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

16.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

17.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

18.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

19.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

20.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

22.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

26.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

27.
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

28.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

29.
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

30.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

31.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

32.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

33.
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

34.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

35.
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

39.
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

40.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

41.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

42.
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

43.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

44.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

45.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

46.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

47.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

48.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

49.
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

50.
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
