Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

2.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

3.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

4.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

5.
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le

6.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

7.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

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

9.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

10.
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

11.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

12.
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

13.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

14.
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

15.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

16.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

17.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

18.
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

19.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

20.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

21.
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

22.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
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

24.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

25.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

26.
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

27.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

28.
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

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

32.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

36.
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

37.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

38.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

39.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

40.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

41.
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

42.
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb

43.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

44.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

45.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

46.
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

47.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

48.
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

49.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

50.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel
