Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

2.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

3.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

4.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

9.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

10.
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred

11.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

12.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

13.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

14.
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

15.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

16.
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.

17.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

18.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

19.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

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

21.
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.

22.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

23.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.

Pope, Alexander

25.
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

26.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

27.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

28.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian

29.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

30.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

31.
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

32.
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June

33.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

34.
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

35.
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

36.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

37.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

38.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

39.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

40.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

41.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

42.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

43.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

44.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

45.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

46.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

47.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

48.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

49.
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

50.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
