Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

2.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

3.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

4.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

5.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

6.
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty

7.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

12.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

13.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

14.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

15.
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine

16.
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

17.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

18.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

19.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

20.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

21.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

22.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

23.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

24.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

28.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

29.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

30.
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.

31.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

32.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

33.
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore

34.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

35.
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

36.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

37.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

38.
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

39.
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

40.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

41.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

42.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

43.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

44.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

45.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

46.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

47.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

48.
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

49.
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar

50.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
