Motivational Quotes
Children
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.

Best Quotes about Children
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
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
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
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
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
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
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
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
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
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
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
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
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
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
