Motivational Quotes
Children
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.

Best Quotes about Children
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
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
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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
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
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
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
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
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
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
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
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
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
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
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
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
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
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
