Best Quotes about Children
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
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
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
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
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
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
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
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
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
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
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
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.
