Best Quotes about Children
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
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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
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
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
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
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
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
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
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
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
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
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
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
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
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
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
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.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
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
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
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
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
