Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

4.
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

5.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

6.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

7.
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John

8.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

9.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

10.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

11.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

12.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

17.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

18.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

19.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

20.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

21.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

22.
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

23.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

24.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

25.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

26.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

27.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

29.
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

30.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

31.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

32.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

33.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

34.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

35.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

36.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

37.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

38.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

39.
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

40.
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

41.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

42.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

49.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

50.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen
